“There is a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing” (Ecclesiastes 3:5).

I never understood this verse before.

The world is in a reset.

And how we use this time says everything about who we will be when revival comes.

When we exit our homes and enter society again, how different we are will depend on what we do now.

This is a time for rest and replenishment, a time to receive all the world’s hurts and hopes into our hearts and yield to the necessary changes in our homes, families, communities, and nation.

It is a time for unity and cooperation — one working beside the other to makes this household work, this family thrive, this neighborhood one to be proud of. It is a time for our communities to come together, and for solidarity as a nation.

We are one family, one nation under God, indivisible. And we know a house divided will not stand.  

It’s a time to relinquish our divide and stand as one. There truly is no other way.

This is our time to review the things that matter most, readjust, and repent.

It’s a time to reevaluate our values, respect the office of the President, and realign ourselves with our Creator.

Now is the time to revisit the principles this country was founded upon and rest our gaze on the one true God whose name is written on every penny we share.

The Israelites trusted God would Passover their house if they just stayed home and marked their doorframes with the blood of the sacrificial lamb.

Jesus Himself was shut up in a tomb to re-emerge a new man.

And the Word calls him the Lamb of God. Without blemish or defect, His blood covers us.

It’s time to take Communion, friends.

When we do re-emerge, let us be the people we are truly meant to be. Clean and without defect, not perfect in our humanness, but perfected by faith in the blood. Made new because we allowed Him to do a work in our home and our hearts.

This is a reset. Use it well.

Love,
