Serving from Home
Many pastors are talking about serving, serving, serving in the midst of this crisis called, COVID-19. It's great and I support them. But what about believers who are social distancing themselves? I love serving others- nothing makes me happier. However, I'm also among the higher risk population and am staying home these days. I know I'm not the only one social distancing and also wanting to serve people- I've been pondering this lately. So, here are a few ideas:
1. Text/message friends and check in with them.
2. Take prayer requests.
3. Hang out with people virtually. This is 2020- you can watch Netflix with someone across the country.
4. Do stuff with the people you are with.
5. Do a book club by social media.
If you have better ideas then please let me know, haha. 1st Corinthians 12:22-27 (NIV) says, "On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; it one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."
Wherever you are these days, whether that's at home or at work- you are an important part of the Body. Serve where you are and remind others of God's love and power. God has a reason for this pandemic.
