We got a bad situation. God is talking.
This pandemic has disrupted our lives,
our work, our play, our sports. It is
disrupted our gatherings. It has turned
what was normal and made it abnormal.
It’s a wake-up call.
One of the ways God speaks is through
allowing circumstances into our lives
and into our world that are not pleasant.
The further you remove God from a life,
a family and a culture, the more chaotic
things will become. But if we would allow
God, who is speaking, who is shaking up
our normality, to become front-page news
again. God is not interested in only a
pledge of allegiance to a nation, He’s
interested in a pledge of allegiance to
Himself.
