Balanced Life Family,
We’re living in some unprecedented times. We’re in uncharted territory. Who would’ve imagined that the time would come when we, who love God, and love attending church, wouldn’t be able to go? Not because we’re sick, had no transportation, or nothing to wear, but because churches were closed. WOW! Well the time came and even though churches are partially opened now, most of us still can’t attend whenever we want. And we don’t know how long this will last.
I’ve decided that whether church doors are opened or closed, I’m going to live holy. I can’t depend on a building to be my only place of worship. The scripture says “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Cor. 3:16 We as Christians, have to decide how we want to live. I’ve decided to use the years of bible teaching and instruction that I’ve already received to help get me through.
From March until the present no one can say they really didn’t have any time for God. God had allowed the entire world to slow down. Everybody’s schedule was cleared. God provided time for those who were so busy with life to read the Word, study the Word, pray, or just seek a closer walk with him.
Thank God for technology! I’ve been able to be taught virtually. I’ve also been able to read, study, and research the Word of God on my computer, laptop, iPad, and iPhone. And yes, I’ve prayed and reached the throne of grace in my own home. I’ve have time to do it and I believe you have too. These things I did before Covid-19, but now I have even more time to devote to them. No excuses!
The Covid-19 era is not over yet. If you haven’t taken advantage of the extra time you’ve been given, I advise you to do so. You’ll find peace even in these uncertain times. Philippians 4:7 tells us that… “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
I’ve said it before. Time spent with God is always time well spent. Living holy is a lifestyle that I love. I haven’t reached perfection, but I’m certainly striving for it. God is the same all-powerful, all-mighty, omnipotent, omnipresent God outside of the church building that he is inside. He doesn’t change. I want to be like him. I’m determined to live holy, even when church doors are closed.
