Make more use of the crisis

What a time to be living to be in? I believe God will have His way through the pandemic like this. 


I am a student and I am safe at home taking all the preventive measures and also, following the safety regulations provided by our government. At a time like this, we should listen to our leaders and keep ourselves updated with news and take preventive precautions. I am a medical aspirant and looking at the frontliners, is such devastating yet very patient with hope. I have stayed in boarding almost all my academic years so it a joy to be able to be with my family, helping mother in the kitchen along with learning household chores and understanding God’s never-ending and unfailing love.  Read a meme in the Internet recently where God says to devil, “I have built my church in all the houses.” I am trying my best not to waste this crisis but make more use of it. And if you need hope, “We will get through this crisis together.” 


We will not let anxiety and depression hit us but we will meditate on God’s word day in and day out. The word meditation had been stolen by Yoga and I believe we should let it be to where it belongs, meditation is a biblical word. Let us keep our mind focus not on what’s happening, but on who Jesus is. As a Christian, our minds are so powerful that when we set our mind right, situations turn around. Let us continue to pray for the leaders of the country and for all the frontliners risking their lives for us. 


If you still can’t fix your mind right, here’s the catch: 


Thinking about future? It is bright because God is in control of it.


Thinking about past? It is dead because Jesus is our redeemer. 


Thinking about prospects? God’s hand is in your life, His anointing is in your life, His blessing is in your family. “God is for you and not against you.”


Stay Home, Stay Safe.
