The other day, Kim and I took Cali to a stream in Mount Baldy. It was the first time she had experienced water flowing down a canyon rather than from a garden hose. At first, Cali was a bit hesitant about this new water experience. However, her intrigue got the best of her and soon she was exploring the pools and ripples. Cali carefully tested the waters by stepping into the shallow parts of the stream. After a while, she began exploring, discovering, and examining all its parts. 1st Thessalonians 5:21 states, “But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good…” (NAS). While we are in the COVID-19 quarantine, it is easy to feel angry, critical, doubtful, worried, anxious, and rebellious. God does not want this for us. He wants us to experience joy, excitement, and peace. I would like to challenge you to take a risk. Ask God for a new and exciting dream. Allow this time of quarantine to bring a freshness to your life and then step out into something different. It might feel a bit scary to walk out of a comfort zone, however, I would urge you to take a step of faith. Ask God to let you test new waters.
