We are coming to the end of 2020. In a few weeks, we will be entering the final quarter for the year. We are in an election year, Much of 2020 has been focused on the pandemic, called COVID-19, or the corona virus. Many families have been quarantined in their homes for months. Schools have had to adjust to the restrictions caused by the virus and develop a new approach to teaching their students. Many people have lost their jobs, or have had their hours drastically reduced because of the State directive to stay home, and practice social distancing. We call it the "New Normal"! I'm not sure I like that term, but it's sticking.
Many people struggle with financial challenges, loss of family and friends to the virus, loss of the way things used to be, social gatherings, even churches are holding their services virtually!. We have to adapt to Zoom meetings instead of in-person meetings. Businesses struggle to survive by coming up with contactless interactions with their customers. In short, there is a lot of unknowns going on around us as never before.
The Good News! God is still in control. He's not the least bit surprised by anything that has happened in 2020. As a matter of fact, it is my personal belief that God can use the uncertainties of our world experiences for our good! He said so, through Paul, in Romans 8 verse 28. "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." For those of us who love God, and to those of us who are called, let us rejoice and remember, God is still in control. Count the blessings He has giving you, even the little things. Don't take anything for granted.
