We’re upending our lives in an effort to contain the coronavirus. Why can’t we put the same energy into containing the evil work of our enemy?
2 Corinthians 2:11 (MSG)
After all, we don’t want to unwittingly give Satan an opening for yet more mischief—we’re not oblivious to his sly ways!
In short, be alert (to more than COVID-19).
It seems it took a virus
to make us come together,
to motivate, inspire us
to face the truth and weather
the storm that now upon the land
that kills the least of these;
now, perhaps, we understand
the greatest of the mysteries
that in our isolation
we must be connected
for in this conflagration
comfort stands rejected
that we may by right protect
the old to whom we owe respect.
Well and poetically said, Andrew. In the terms of this virus, I fall into the age range that counts as “the least of these.” Physically, I suppose I belong there; spiritually, it doesn’t feel right.
