“For those alive in the kingdom of God, the world we live in is a perfectly safe place to be.”
– Dallas Willard
Life throws us many unexpected things, and we are now living in a time of uncertainty. None of us had planned for the virus to spread this rapidly. It is easy to be discouraged and feel upset at a time like this, but in this episode James Bryan Smith offers a different way to understand what is going on around us.
It is easy to to be discouraged but it is also a time to say, “what could this season be for me? How can I grow during this time?” Smith encourages us to view this as more of an opportunity than an inconvenience.
We have been given the gift of margin because of this virus. We have an opportunity to pray, read books, and enjoy those closest to us (in small gatherings). To help illustrate this idea smith recites the poem “Welcome to Holland” by Emily Pearl Kingsley.
Smith closes with the opening passage from the Heidelberg Catechism which you can read here.
