Decisions During Disasters (8)
Series: Re-Vision

Isaiah 30:18
We are not called to just endure this crisis so that we can get back to normal again. We don't know how long this new norm will be around, and I don't think we will ever be normal again (according to the old definition of ''normal.'')
While we can focus on the death rate of coronavirus, let's look at the positive side of things for a moment. I got this from Facebook, but it's worth repeating:

- TRAFFIC is gone,
- GAS is affordable,
- BILLS are extended.
- KIDS are at home with their FAMILIES.
- PARENTS are home taking care of their CHILDREN.
- FAST FOOD is replaced by HOME COOKED MEALS.

- PEOPLE are conscious about HYGIENE and HEALTH.
- MONEY doesn't seem to make the WORLD GO ROUND anymore.
- DOCTORS, NURSES and TEACHERS are being praised and recognized instead of athletes and celebrities.
- And WE now have TIME, finally, to STOP and SMELL the ROSES.
- The positive side above all!! It is God's way of telling us to slow down and focus on HIM and what is important!!
Let me add a few of my own:
- Communities are coming together knowing we are all in this together
- Home projects are getting done (and all the wives said ''YES!'')
- Love is increasing, we are not ships passing in the night, but we can l- ok into each other's eyes again
- Hope is coming alive
- Faith is growing and God is being invited in again.
I want to talk to you today about decisions. Every day we have decisions to make. It is true that our decisions determine our destiny, and many people can be confused about their destiny. They don't know which way to go in life. Maybe this crisis has sidelined them, they lost their job, and now feel like a fish out of water. I think of the person who lost their job, or the mom who is no ...
