Oh,
how deserted our street has become. We
see houses but no people. Everyone is
inside trying to evade “The Virus”. We go out to the garbage site. There are bags of garbage that may have walked
there on their own. We occasionally see
a neighbor but they are far away and only call a brief greeting. It makes for a
hard time.
It
is no coincidence we are reading Joshua at this time. Joshua was instructed to be strong and
courageous. I need to remember that! Do not fear!
Whoa, that is hard. God never
told Joshua to be foolish. He did not
call him to be unwise. He called him to
obey and be strong and courageous. So
right now in Japan we follow the rules. We are still able to go to the facility
for the disabled if we follow the rules, so we go. We pray vigorously before, during and
after. We show a calm, loving spirit,
and trust God to take what we can give and multiply it. We go with courage. When and if we are told the facility is
locked down what will we do? We will
obey and pray, pray, pray! We will trust
God to work! We will not fear or be
dismayed. We will trust God to take care
of it.
