It’s the end of March right now, and the Corona virus is running rampant throughout our country and world.  When I look out our window the sun is shining, melting the patches of snow that remain in our front yard.  Everything looks pretty normal except for the eerie hush that surrounds our neighborhood.  Most of our neighbors are hunkered down inside their homes.  Events in our town have all been cancelled.  Restaurants are closed.  There’s a sense of curiosity, dread, wonderment, fear, peace, hope, all mixed up in the air.  Nobody really knows what will happen next, except God.

How can I keep my family safe?  I’ve asked myself all these questions.  God does whisper back to me in His familiar comforting voice, “I am your safety, peace, hope, and comfort.  I will give you wisdom.  I will renew all that is lost, and there will be great celebration!”
