WALLS CLOSING IN?

The COVID 19 pandemic has almost gotten the best of us. Many of us have tried to comply with the directions of our healthcare officials. We wash our hands. We wear our masks when we go out. We stay at home a lot. We eat more meals at home than ever before. We work from home. We educate from home. We worship from home. And many are on the verge of screaming “I have had enough!”

Couple that with the social unrest, the cries for reform, and all the unknowns of the future make us feel like we are trapped and the walls are closing in! And add to that the politics of a presidential election. Getting older by the day. Dim prospects of travel and a much needed vacation. On and on we could go …

Can I offer a little counsel straight out of the Bible? Turn to Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 and take a quick minute to read it. Really important to read it!

Enjoy your life.
Eat and work and appreciate it all.
Life is filled with vanity and uncertainty.
You don’t know when you will die.
You don’t know how it all is going to end.
You do not understand the Big Picture.
You cannot change anybody but yourself.
You lack the strength to fix it.
You lack the wisdom to fix it.
Truth is > You cannot even fix yourself!

Therefore, kick back. Unwind. Read a book. 
Appreciate all present blessing.
God will fix it all --- one day!
