Detached

Disconnectedness is defined as ‘not connected, separate.’

A year ago, our routines changed, plans re-arranged. 2020 detached us from our individual existence.

Yet, those of us who are Christians stand unshaken. We haven’t walked away unscathed, but we were escorted through with our God, who is consistent and unchanging.

When people got sick, we prayed. When people died, we prayed. We prayed and still pray for those who risk their own lives to save the sick and dying.

2020 touched and changed all of us. I prayed more, while others rebelled and got lost in reality and depression. The internet suddenly replaced face-to-face conversations. Loved ones were left alone in the hospitals and nursing homes to suffer and die alone.

Instead of being detached from life, get attached to the unchanging God that created us.

The past is behind us. Join me in thanking God for getting us through a hard year and having hope for tomorrow.

Look around you, God is your refuge in times of trouble.

Psalm 142:4-5 - “Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. I cry to you, Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
