A CHORUS OUT OF THE VIRUS
(Restoration After Isolation)Everything seems to be dying in this time of crisis; the economy, jobs, dreams, and even life itself. Seemingly, the masks on our faces have masked our plans and almost everything such that the world is gloomy. The horrors of the virus have invaded our sinuses and distorted our lives. Yet, out of the virus shall come a chorus of joy!—smiles will not be lost, the weak shall be made strong, the poor shall be rich, and many goals shall be fulfilled.
Before a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, it isolates itself in a cocoon for days and erupts to be in flight. Before an eagle regains its strength, it isolates itself in the wilderness and develops wings to soar. Before a serpent becomes more wise and cunning, it isolates itself in a habitat and sheds its old skin for a new skin.
Eventually — within months, years, or decades — it (the virus) will cease to exist. This period of isolation is not actually a "period" to your life. The isolation is for your education, meditation, glorification, and transformation. After Nebuchadnezzar came out of his isolation, he could boldly say; "my reason returned to me, my kingdom, my honor and brightness returned to me, my counselors and lords returned to me, I was established in my kingdom, and excellence and majesty was added unto my life" (
