A common saying and theme in where a person wakes up and realizes that there is more to this life then their own needs and desires. A justifiable one, as we are very self-serving creatures!
In the midst of this quarantine however, maybe it IS about you. Maybe this is more of a forced internal reflection rather then an outward focus on spiritual efforts.
There is certainly strength in numbers and that goes for God's people as well; helping when no one else will, prayer groups, worshiping in unison. But God looks after the individual strength as much as He does the collective. And at time that means stepping away from the crowd.... to where it's just you and Him... where you can finally hear what God's been wanting to say to you.
What is important to me?
How do I spend my time?
What do I put my mental energy towards?
Do I let my family and friends know that I love them?
When was the last time I sat and did... nothing?
Have I been the better version of myself?
Where do I want to be while the world's going crazy?
There are plenty renditions of 'why' going around right now. Maybe the answer lies in asking yourself other questions. Questions, ironically, about yourself. There are always parts of our personalities that need work... do, WHY not start now?
“Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter;
we are all the work of your hand.”
Isaiah 64:8
Thank you!
