I lift my eyes to the hills—
From where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth
Psalm 121
I seldom think it’s a good idea for me to accept those words: My help comes from the Lord. That’s because I want a magical fixing the troubles of my life and our earth process…and then I think why would it take my talking to the Lord to get divine help when the need is so obvious. It takes no more than five minutes for me to get around to thinking, “The Lord should have already noticed this virus and done something about it.”
And, I am right in thinking that way. But it takes a lot more than five minutes for me to remember that yes the Lord has and is doing something about.
The Lord is sending people like me to do something about it. Not being in the medical field, or the government, I then have to say to myself: “What can, and should I do?”
That takes an inventory of my spiritual and earthly gifts. I suspect I am not the only one taking such an inventory these days. The comfort and peace of mind will come when we get done with our part. What can we all do in this time of need? What is God calling us to do?
