An amazing opportunity to transform the way we live

Morning: Psalm 88; Genesis 47:1-26; I Corinthians 9:16-27
Evening: Psalms 91, 92; Mark 6:47-56

Amazement characterizes people’s response to Jesus. He offers transformation, nourishes people, calms their troubles, heals wounds. They are amazed. I want to bring a similar attitude of amazement to this strange time we are in ... True, Illness, death and fear makes some selfish, yet the level of human cooperation, heroism, creativity and international collaboration amazes me. More than that, Wuhan has clean air and birdsong; dolphins swim in the now clean waters of Venice. Who knows? Perhaps beyond this present chaos, we will realize that this is an opportunity to transform the way we live. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
