Habakkuk 3:2-19 New International Version (NIV) 
 
2 Lord, I have heard of your fame; 
    I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. 
Repeat them in our day, 
    in our time make them known; 
    in wrath remember mercy. 
 
3 God came from Teman, 
    the Holy One from Mount Paran.[a] 
His glory covered the heavens 
    and his praise filled the earth. 
4 His splendor was like the sunrise; 
    rays flashed from his hand, 
    where his power was hidden. 
5 Plague went before him; 
    pestilence followed his steps. 
6 He stood, and shook the earth; 
    he looked, and made the nations tremble. 
The ancient mountains crumbled 
    and the age-old hills collapsed— 
    but he marches on forever. 
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress, 
    the dwellings of Midian in anguish. 
 
8 Were you angry with the rivers, Lord? 
    Was your wrath against the streams? 
Did you rage against the sea 
    when you rode your horses 
    and your chariots to victory? 
9 You uncovered your bow, 
    you called for many arrows. 
You split the earth with rivers; 
10     the mountains saw you and writhed. 
Torrents of water swept by; 
    the deep roared 
    and lifted its waves on high. 
 
11 Sun and moon stood still in the heavens 
    at the glint of your flying arrows, 
    at the lightning of your flashing spear. 
12 In wrath you strode through the earth 
    and in anger you threshed the nations. 
13 You came out to deliver your people, 
    to save your anointed one. 
You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness, 
    you stripped him from head to foot. 
14 With his own spear you pierced his head 
    when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, 
gloating as though about to devour 
    the wretched who were in hiding. 
15 You trampled the sea with your horses, 
    churning the great waters. 
 
16 I heard and my heart pounded, 
    my lips quivered at the sound; 
decay crept into my bones, 
    and my legs trembled. 
Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity 
    to come on the nation invading us. 
17 Though the fig tree does not bud 
    and there are no grapes on the vines, 
though the olive crop fails 
    and the fields produce no food, 
though there are no sheep in the pen 
    and no cattle in the stalls, 
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, 
    I will be joyful in God my Savior. 
 
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength; 
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, 
    he enables me to tread on the heights. 
 
For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.

I awakened at 1AM again last night, and since my friend overseas is in a time zone twelve hours away, I sent him a quick message. "Can't sleep, what's up?" 
 
Like the wonderfully true friend he is, he asked me some questions about what might be keeping me awake. "What were you thinking about;" he asked, "what was the first thing on your mind when you woke up?" 
 
I told him about some of my worries, and his response was so wise, so insightful, that I asked him if I could share it with all of you. 
 
He said, "Since before all of this started with the coronavirus, I've been thinking a lot about mental health, (because of my teaching and some new projects I'm working on). 
 
"The three most common mental health issues are depression, anxiety and addiction," he affirmed. "Not surprisingly, these are just amplified versions of emotions everyone struggles with." He told me about a counseling professor he knows, who said that depression and anxiety are the "common cold and flu" of the psychology world. "Everyone gets them at some point, and sometimes the symptoms are more severe than other times." 
 
I agreed, saying that I've struggled with each of these in varying degrees. 
 
He continued: "What's been percolating in my mind is the spiritual side of all this. Whatever your worldview, most people could agree that depression isn't the lack of joy, but it's the absence of hope. It drags your focus into the disappointments and regrets of the past." 
 
"Yeah," I said. "That's been true for me." 
 
"Anxiety is really the lack of peace," he said. "If we're not at peace about things we can't control, then it drags us into worries of the future that haven't even happened yet (and in many cases are unlikely to ever happen)." 
 
"OK, that seems right," I agreed. 
 
"Finally, addiction is the absence of joy," he said. "We can't find (or are unwilling to find) happiness, or pleasure, or satisfaction with our `lot in life.' Our solution is to find ways to numb ourselves, or escape the pain by focusing or fantasizing on anything else. These addictions drag us away from our pain and our monotony. It ends up sucking all of our time into something else that may give us temporary `joy,' but with diminishing returns." 
 
"That makes a lot of sense," I said. And then he pulled it all together with this amazing sentence: 
 
"In all three cases, the painful emotions of depression, anxiety, and addiction pull us away from living in the present moment. Depression drags us into the past, anxiety into the future, and addiction into some kind of alternative present. We are preventing ourselves from really living in the here and now– whether intentionally or not." 
 
As I considered what he had to say, he reminded me that it's not just depression and anxiety one gets from being in isolation. So many of us are addicted to constant social media, addicted to staying ahead of the news, addicted to any number of vices in an effort to be distracted from reality. 
 
So how do we respond? I think we need to make every effort to stay in the moment, and trust that God knows our past and our future, as it says in today's Psalm. God is acquainted with all of our ways! Even before a word is on our tongue, he knows it completely. 
 
Can you trust him? Can you let him worry about the future, can you give him your past? Can you live in the moment, as a child of the Father? 
 
Amen.

Psalm 139:1-5,12-17 
The Inescapable God 
To the leader. Of David. A Psalm. 
 
1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me. 
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; 
 you discern my thoughts from far away. 
3 You search out my path and my lying down, 
 and are acquainted with all my ways. 
4 Even before a word is on my tongue, 
 O Lord, you know it completely. 
5 You hem me in, behind and before, 
 and lay your hand upon me. 
12 even the darkness is not dark to you; 
 the night is as bright as the day, 
 for darkness is as light to you. 
13 For it was you who formed my inward parts; 
 you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 
 Wonderful are your works; 
 that I know very well. 
15 My frame was not hidden from you, 
 when I was being made in secret, 
 intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 
16 Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. 
 In your book were written 
 all the days that were formed for me, 
 when none of them as yet existed. 
17 How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! 
 How vast is the sum of them!

What would happen if the world collapsed around us? That possibility doesn't seem so unlikely of late, considering the infections, the deaths, the financial collapses, the shortages, the quarantines, and the frantic panic just below the surface. 
 
More than ever, people feel alone. Not only are we forced into isolation, but we fear that if we don't stock up on essentials, even hoard what we may need, then we could be left abandoned and hopeless. 
 
This is a very strange time. Our natural urges to self-protect may outweigh our enlightened senses to love, share, and assist. 
 
It's times like these when we should keep our eyes fixed on what's right, what's good, and what's true. None of us want our world to descend into chaos and anarchy. It's times like these when God's word is an essential standard on which to set our unwavering gaze. 
 
That's one reason I love Psalm 119. Look at the verses 9 to 16, from today's Psalm: we see the writer imploring us to use God's law to stay on track, to fix our eyes on it, to stay focused. We're reminded to meditate on God's law, to not forget it. 
 
I believe that the more we make scripture a part of our everyday life, memorizing and integrating God's word into our daily routine, then the bigger the change we'll see. We'll be filled with the fruit of God's spirit, and become people of love, joy, hope, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control! 
 
That is exactly what we need in such tumultuous times! When we're unsure of the future, it's even more important to depend on what has been unchanging for millennia! 
 
Amen

Psalm 119 
9 How can young people keep their way pure?

 so that I may not sin against you. 
12 Blessed are you, O Lord; 
 teach me your statutes. 
13 With my lips I declare 
 all the ordinances of your mouth. 
14 I delight in the way of your decrees 
 as much as in all riches. 
15 I will meditate on your precepts, 
 and fix my eyes on your ways. 
16 I will delight in your statutes; 
 I will not forget your word.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has been dominating the news for a few weeks now, and is probably on everyone's mind. I'm slightly amazed by the varied, and often fearful responses we've seen. 
 
For example, I've heard of individuals lashing out in fear, doing and saying unkind things to others because they are afraid that they might become infected. I've heard of racism directed to people because they are Chinese! This is not how we should behave. 
 
How should we react as Christians? What would God have us do, and how would Jesus behave? Should we protect ourselves and our families from becoming infected, or should we attempt to care for the sick just as Jesus cared for those who had communicable diseases like leprosy? 
 
This is an easy answer: we should be motivated by love, not by fear. We should consider our own needs as secondary to the needs of others. 
 
It was reported a few days ago that Pope Francis is telling priests to get out and comfort the sick, even while Italy is urging her citizens to stay home. I believe Pope Francis is modeling Christ here. We live in a world that is predominantly motivated by fear, and so this decision is in sharp contrast. Of course, Christians should be directed by love, compassion, and faith. 
 
Listen to the words of Psalm 145: The Lord is near to all who call on him in truth! He hears their cry and saves them! He is just in all his ways, he watches over all who love him! Wouldn't it be amazing if, as described in verse 4, the next generation of humanity looks back to remember the work of God through his people? 
 
As brothers and sisters of Christ, let's be the hands of Jesus, embracing those who are unwell. Let's reach out to those who need our touch. 
 
You may think it is foolish to do so, but I would rather be foolish in sharing God's generous love, than to miss an opportunity to be Jesus to my neighbour. 
 
Amen

1 I will extol you, my God and King, 
 and bless your name for ever and ever. 
2 Every day I will bless you, 
 and praise your name for ever and ever. 
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; 
 his greatness is unsearchable. 
4 One generation shall laud your works to another, 
 and shall declare your mighty acts. 
5 On the glorious splendour of your majesty, 
 and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. 
17 The Lord is just in all his ways, 
 and kind in all his doings. 
18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, 
 to all who call on him in truth. 
19 He fulfils the desire of all who fear him; 
 he also hears their cry, and saves them. 
20 The Lord watches over all who love him, 
 but all the wicked he will destroy. 
21 My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, 
 and all flesh will bless his holy name for ever and ever.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has been dominating the news for a few weeks now, and is probably on everyone's mind. I'm slightly amazed by the varied, and often fearful responses we've seen.

For example, I've heard of individuals lashing out in fear, doing and saying unkind things to others because they are afraid that they might become infected. I've heard of racism directed to people because they are Chinese! This is not how we should behave.

How should we react as Christians? What would God have us do, and how would Jesus behave? Should we protect ourselves and our families from becoming infected, or should we attempt to care for the sick just as Jesus cared for those who had communicable disease

Job 23:8-12 Song 
 
If I go east, he is not there, 
and if I go west, I cannot perceive him. 
When he is at work to the north, I cannot see him; 
when he turns south, I cannot find him. 
Yet he knows the way I have taken; 
when he has tested me, I will emerge as pure gold. 
My feet have followed in his tracks; 
I have kept to his way and not turned aside. 
I have not departed from the commands from his lips; 
I have treasured the words from his mouth 
more than my daily food.

31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is the one who will condemn? Christ is the one who died (and more than that, he was raised), who is at the right hand of God, and who also is interceding for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we have complete victory through him who loved us! 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

5 God said, “Do not approach any closer! Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 He added, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. 
 
7 The Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from that land to a land that is both good and spacious, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the region of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. 9 And now indeed the cry of the Israelites has come to me, and I have also seen how severely the Egyptians oppress them. 10 So now go, and I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”

The Lord is the everlasting God,
