As the Coronavirus reeks havoc across this world one can’t help but wonder how we might give hope and peace in this time of crises. Those who used to think that the preventative measures such as social distancing, washing one’s hands frequently, avoiding touching one’s eyes, nose, mouth and the outright quarantine of entire cities were measures of the paranoid; as the cases and deaths rise the skeptical have changed their mind … this virus is deadly. Not only does it bring the possibility of death with it but also the likelihood of many people being laid off from work. While fear is the natural response to our dire circumstances surely we who have not been given a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7) would take this opportunity to let our light shine so that others might feel our God-given peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7)! To be a light and offer this world peace of mind there are three things we must do: 1) draw nearer to God to learn love and peace from the Master, 2) hold onto and share the hope we have in our Lord Jesus Christ and 3) look for ways to spur one another onto good deeds!
