SOLITUDE INSTEAD OF ISOLATION

In this moment of “interruption” the enemy wants to fill your time with fear, social media binges, and useless tasks.  Don’t let social distancing cultivate loneliness and isolation in you. Yes, be a presence of peace to those around you and, yes, be the hands and feet of Jesus when your neighbors need you. However, don’t forget that this could also be a time of solitude wherein God’s people are able to draw near to Him for life-giving spiritual practices!
