At This Moment Are You Surviving or Thriving?

With the Coronavirus aggressively moving throughout our nation we have been strongly urged to socially distance ourselves from others.  This effort is to curb passing the virus onto others.  This has ruined rhythms and events that many of us were looking to with great anticipation.  What were you looking forward to that is now no longer certain?  Go ahead and have a conversation if you are with others.  If you are reading this alone, hold that one thing in your mind for a moment.

It's easy to get caught up in the moment.  It's so easy to focus on the now or on that one special moment we were looking towards.  As Christians, we need to have a larger view.  We need to walk up the stairs to the balcony and look down.  We need to travel to the metaphorical "nose bleeds" and get some perspective.  God has called us to much more than what is right in front of us.  I think this is the first step towards thriving.  What big picture do you need to see right now?  Read Matthew 6:25-34 and John 14:27 then talk about it with those you are with or call someone and share your insights.
