Book excerpt: The time of the COVID-19 Pandemic was a time of quarantine and isolation for many people, causing much loneliness and sadness. As an Associate Minister and a member of a few ministries in my church, I felt led to try to bring some encouragement and inspiration to the members of these ministries. And so, with the aid and anointing of the Holy Spirit, I began frequently sending these short messages to the ministries via e-mail. Those messages have resulted in the compilation of this present work. They are my thoughts, reflections, musings, and meditations during the year-long period of quarantine, isolation and restrictions. However, the majority of these reflections are not merely my thoughts, but they are scripturally based, backed by the Word of God. Some of them may be considered Sermonettes. For example, let's take a look at one of the readings dated April 1, 2020 and entitled "In the Valley." Psalm 23:4 says "Yea though I walk through the valley and the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." Because of this Coronavirus (COVID-19), we are most certainly in a valley right now. Sickness and death are all around us. Nevertheless, the operative phrase in this verse is: "THROUGH THE VALLEY" with emphasis on the word, "THROUGH." Yes the situation seems dark right now; it's frightening and scary, but it's also temporary. We shall not stay in this valley. We can put our CONFIDENCE in the Lord of the valley, believe that He will lead us THROUGH this valley. Also, we are not alone in this valley, for the Lord of the valley is with us. He is our COMPANY-KEEPER, and if we can look away from the scary shadows and focus on the company-keeper, the author and finisher of our faith, He will keep us by His grace and mercy, and we know that His grace is sufficient, and His mercy endures forever. Finally, this verse not only gives us confidence and a company-keeper, but it promises COMFORT, and this comfort comes from the Lord of the valley's Rod and His staff--the Written Word and the Living Word. The Written Word (the Bible) with its promises of provision and protection is our source of comfort, and the Living Word, who is Jesus, our Shepherd, leads us THROUGH this valley. "Wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and He will strengthen our heart. WAIT, I SAY, ON THE LORD!" (Psalm 27:14). In April of 2020, many folk were becoming so anxious, so devastated, and actually fearful of what was happening, I was led to try to help people understand that they were not alone, and that they would get through it in God's time. Although, at this writing, we are almost completely through that valley, it is my prayer that these readings will continue to strengthen you and comfort you in any other "valley" you may find yourself going through.

Book excerpt: 2020 had just begun...We gathered with friends and family as we had many times before. We watched our children playing happily together without a care in the world. We talked about our plans for the new year. Someone was going on her first cruise. Another was planning a wedding. Her sister had just gotten the lead role in the high school musical. Her cousin's dream of going to the Olympics was about to come true. We passed around pictures and shared memories. Then we piled into our vans and headed to our favorite restaurant. Meanwhile, the clouds were rolling in...The events of this past year have left us, the whole world, reeling, wondering if life will ever get back to normal. No one expected the storm to last this long. Many see it as an interruption rather than as an integral part of our lives. The truth is that God saw it coming. He was not taken by surprise. Even now, He is weaving it into the very fabric of our being. He can use all of life's circumstances as vehicles to draw us closer to Himself. This little book is a reflection of the work He has done in my heart, not only through this pandemic, but through my entire life. I pray that it will be a blessing and an encouragement to all who read it, especially those who wonder if God is there and if He cares.

Download or read book Adrift a Spiritual Journey Back After a Pandemic written by Alisa Bard and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let's face it, this pandemic, and the quarantines, have us all facing a shift in our belief system in one way or another. Whether you've found yourself drifting further away from God, or desperately calling out to Him, or somewhere in the middle, 2020 is without a doubt going down in history as the year of personal and spiritual challenges for all of us. Alisa started just taking a single verse, sometimes two, in the mornings and trying to ponder on it and apply it to her day. She quickly realized that she is a visual person and started putting a home screen graphic on her phone to represent the truth in the verse I had read that day. We've all heard that 21 days makes a habit, so here are 21 days of those ponderings, along with the home screen graphic to go along with it. From the author: This journey is a testament to the power of God's word. There were days I had no strength. I won't get into the physical ailments I had from stress and anxiety, but they were pretty intense. In the middle of our business failing and our family abandoning us, God provided many miracles. One of those miracles was a job for me. I went on three interviews and landed a goldmine job. God provided that for me. I could not breathe without seeking the Lord before going to work each morning. Literally. And He gave me strength. I sought Him and He gave me strength. Truth.

Download or read book Haiku Ponderings written by Anthony Nanfito and published by Anthony Nanfito. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Japanese poetry form of haiku is perfect for capturing moments of time and reflecting on life. Using it to ponder life's deepest questions and universal truth is something poets have been doing for centuries. During the year of 2020, writing haiku each day helped me stay grounded in a world that seemed to be falling apart. It gave me a moment to be present and think about what I value, what is important to me, and how to give back to others. I hope this book does the same and helps you appreciate all the amazing miracles—big and small—that exist in the world. In this book, you will find over 100 haiku and five mini essays centered around Mindfulness, Compassion, Gratitude, Love & Loss, and Give & Forgive. Each chapter ends with questions for your own reflection or inspiration. Feel free to ponder them at your leisure. Your purchase of this book helps support me (Anthony Nanfito) as an independent author, as well as my podcast: The Haiku Pond. The first season of the podcast features selected haiku from this book as well as haiku submitted by other poets. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Download or read book God and the Pandemic written by TOM WRIGHT and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Superbly written, utterly Bible based. . . Do not hesitate!’ Archbishop Justin Welby What are we supposed to think about the coronavirus crisis? Some people think they know: ‘This is a sign of the End,’ they say. ‘It’s all predicted in the book of Revelation.’ Others disagree but are equally clear: ‘This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he’s telling us to change.’ Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: ‘It’s the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization...' Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he invites you to consider a different way of seeing and responding – a way that draws on the teachings and examples of scripture, and above all on the way of living, thinking and praying revealed to us by Jesus.
