People tend to have two very different responses to a threat. We find ourselves facing threats of varying intensity all the time. Our current cultural focus is on the threat of COVID-19 - commonly called the coronavirus and our social response to this virus has been to each extreme. Some want to completely downplay it and ignore it and others are running around with their hair on fire.

We often explore scripture here with a question in mind: What is the Christian response to this current event? What guidance can we take from the Holy Spirit and the Word?

Our Core 52 direction for this week is Psalm 23. This is an excellent time to bring this word into our minds and hearts. To let David’s beautiful imagery transform our thinking and actions when we face trials, struggles, threats.
