What can we do?
As we continue to travel down the path of adjustment that the current health situation has forced upon us, one question that is heard over and over again is "what can I do?".  While the information on the precautionary measures has been widely disseminated, that information only deals with health preventative measures we can take.  For those of us who proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the health preventative steps only provides a partial answer. The fuller answer is found in God's words through His prophet Micah when we are told in Micah 6:8 [He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?] Another way of translating this is to say "do right, and love good" The simplest way to explain what we are exhorted to do is to doing righteousness and exercising love. These two embrace all the commandments of the second table. To walk humbly with our God is to walk in fellowship with Him. Such fellowship is a proclamation of our devotion and dependence on Him. In the practice of the prophet's words, our horizontal behavior (our relationship with our fellow man) is a result and expression of our vertical reality (our relationship with God). In practical terms this means we strive to demonstrate God's love in a time when some seem to be behaving like characters in Lord of the Flies instead of Biblical characters who love Christ.  How are our neighbors doing? How are the senior members of our church doing? Do we know? Today, make a call, at least one; and remind those of our church family, and your earthly family, that you love them and that we are in God's hands.
