To you it was shown,
that you might know
   that the LORD is God;
there is no other
              besides Him.

             Deuteronomy 4. 35

(Crises have a way
      of unraveling fictions,
      unplugging false beliefs,
      and revealing
             mass-produced idols.
We cannot know why
   these strange things are unfolding,
but we can know
    that the LORD is God.
He is holding us fast,
   no matter the circumstances.
Even now.
Even in this.)

O LORD,
You are good.
You are God.
You are the Almighty,
          even in this.
You protect,
You provide,
You hold all things together.
You have strategically placed
         each one of us
to bring Your name here
and love those around us
       right into Your kingdom.

               
"What if this disorienting season of quarantine is not simply isolating and inconvenient? What if it can provide a newfound space for reflection to ask some of life’s biggest questions and reorient ourselves around the truth to be discovered?"      --from a letter from the Veritas Forum

God is using this.  God is using us in it.
