Chaplain
Given current world events, it is a good time to focus on optimism and hope.
There is hope as God has promised to restore our world and put an end to the things that ravage us. Jesus, when he walked the earth, gave us glimpses of this future restored world as he calmed storms, healed the sick and raised the dead.
There is hope as Jesus promised to be present with us to the end of the Age. He is with us as we navigate the unexpected, the sad and the joys of life. The assurance that the God of all comfort is with us and caring for us, gives us a calm that stills our fears.
There is hope as we are created in the image of God with creativity and rational thought. We see this in action as our medical workers and scientist investigate solutions to the crisis.
There is hope as we are not left without testimony of a powerful and compassionate God who promises life and life in abundance for now and for the next life. Today is not all there is to life!
We may take a moment to reflect on our own understanding of the world and how the God of the bible speaks to us. Life does not just consist of the physical but the spiritual as well. As we understand our spiritual nature and the God who gave us this, we find a depth of peace and security that sustains us.
