What Have You Done During These Trying Times?
. The year 2020 for most of us was going to be the year of 2020 clearer vision & the year of clarity. A lot of us set goals before the new decade began. Little did we know that our lives would never be the same again as the Covid-19 pandemic swept across the US in mid-March.
Who would have known that our new normal would be wearing masks every day to go out in public & social distancing? Who would have known that this pandemic would have come & taken the lives of many people young & old, causing unemployment all over the world & businesses to shut down & most companies to lay off employees?
Even though we did not know any of this was going to happen, God already knew it would. You see when the world was on the 2020 vision, clearer vision & the year of clarity train, those words were spoken & placed into the atmosphere. But when the pandemic came about, those words turned into fear, doubt uncertainty & depression. Even though there are all of these terrible, hurtful things going on around us, God is still God & He wants us to trust Him completely.
You see, to me 2020 vision, clearer vision & the year of clarity now means, how clear are you right now and where you will end up if you transitioned today. How much clarity do you have on God’s Word? How clear are you with your relationship with God? These are the things that those words mean to me right now.
Many people are working from home now or laid off due to the pandemic & with that came about more closeness with your children, spouses & family. But did your relationship with God get closer? Many are uncertain if they will be returning to work or when. So in knowing that, have you started taking those online courses you have been wanting to take but couldn’t before because you were too busy with work? Have you started writing that book you’ve always wanted to start writing? What about starting that business you’ve always wanted to start? What about just relaxing with a good book, practicing more self-care & working on personal development daily? Truth is no one should be the same after going through all of this & if you are, you might need to reevaluate yourself. Now is the time to level up & change some things. If you’re unsure about whether you have a job to go back to or not, then why not work towards starting your own business & doing the research to get started? Start taking those courses you need to start. While doing that, make sure that you are spending time with God & asking Him to give you some fresh new ideas.
Right now is not the time to be doing nothing at all. Consistent prayer & activating your faith is needed at this time. Allow God to lead you & guide you in the direction that you need to go. He is still opening doors, blessing & making things happen during the Covid-19.
