Text of excerpt, if available
As this tragedy takes more and more of a personal face, we will be tempted with greater fear and anxiety, we will be tempted to just take care of and protect ourselves. Yet in the midst of these self-centered temptations, we need to constantly ask ourselves, “What does God want me to do at this time? How does He want me to respond to the growing fear and anxiety? Not only what can I learn from this crisis, but just as important, how can I act as God’s presence by helping others? What good can come out of this crisis” Last week I preached about God “testing our hearts” during these uncertain times. God is asking us to sincerely repent and turn away from all that is false and meaningless in our lives and turn towards the ways of the Lord, towards all that makes life so beautiful and full of purpose.
