Your success depends on the risks you take. Your survival depends on the risks you avoid.
James Clear

This quote by James Clear seems especially apropos as we battle the coronavirus. This is a time for us to minister to others and share what we have with those in need. This is also a time for us not to be foolhardy and risk contracting the disease and in turn infect others.

This is a highly contagious disease, but we will get through this crisis. It will become worse for us who live in the United States before it gets better – but it will get better. Great challenges can cause us to become creative when we have no other options and we make discoveries that we never thought were possible. We can use this time of sequestration to grow closer to God, pray for loved ones, and develop a learning plan for personal growth. We can come through this crisis stronger as we learn to trust in Him!

A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, the naive proceed and pay the penalty. (Proverbs 27:12)
