​There are a lot of things going on in our world right now, and for the most part, it just all seems so chaotic.  We have found ourselves planted amid a season of so many unknowns.  The medical world, the business world, churches, schools, communities, counties, states, nations, globally; well, I think you get the idea.  All are impacted by this COVID-19 pandemic and we simply do not know when it will all end.  These are unusual times for sure, but then again, we have been in unusual times before.  So, amid this chaotic season, let me take the time to remind you of this important fact.  GOD IS PRESENT AND IN CONTROL!
I am sure that, if you are reading this, that you are aware of the presence and control of God, but it never hurts to be reminded and it never hurts for us to read it and say it out loud.  One can still have faith and be concerned with the present status of our world.  One can still have faith and still struggle with wondering how to move forward.  So then, take this time off and focus on family.  Take this time off and spend quality and quantity time with the Father.  Spend some time in His Word.  Spend some talking and listening to God.   Lastly, remember that the mission of the church is still ongoing, even when the world seems to be on hold.  Remember to be those who follow Jesus and make disciples.
Think about it.  Pray about it.  God bless.
