Lockdown 306

Lockdown Day 306 - 26 January 2021

Today was car service day. I was up early to make the queue at the service centre. Car booked, my youngest and I had a few things to do before meeting a long standing friend for coffee.

While meandering through the nearby mall, I did a little people watching. Suddenly everyone was wearing robes, jerseys and raincoats or carrying an umbrella. Everyone seemed to feel the earth breathe. 

For a couple of minutes I got a glimpse into the past, when we were free of masks and sanitiser, a world that feels like another time zone in the life of earth. And most probably never will be again.

After 306 days it is still hard for us all to come to grips with this. Maybe it is because the filter through which we viewed the world is redundant and in need of a change.

Maybe the filter we need is nothing other than God's Word. Although we always prided ourselves on having a Biblical perspective of life, we were nowhere near what God meant when He urged us to consider all trials pure joy.

So today, while the cyclone has given us a break with a tad of blue sky, I am going to try to allow this paradigm shift to happen while I view the world through a new perspective. One where my thoughts and my ways start to come in alignment with God's.

" “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways.” It is a declaration of Adonai . “For as the heavens are higher than earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." "

Isaiah 55:8‭-‬9

What a joy to know this God that's got this. ✨
