Scripture
Watch closely: I am preparing something new; it’s happening now, even as I speak,
and you’re about to see it. I am preparing a way through the desert;
Waters will flow where there had been none. Isaiah 43:19 (The Voice)
The Gist
What does it look like when community is fractured (family, marriage, friends, church, neighbors, etc.)?
We are left feeling disoriented, our identities are a little shaken, and we get the "lonely in a crowd" feeling.
BUT how do we rebuild? Today, take a closer look at what rebuilding should look like: Don't rush, resist the lies that fear tells us, rebuild in small numbers, choose quality over familiarity, embrace the "in-between" season, be patient in your grief.
Digging Deeper
Am I trying to rebuild community or control it?
What past hurt might be shaping how I'm showing up for community right now?
Where am I guarded when God might be asking me to open gently?
Have I forgiven the community that disappointed me - or am I still bracing for impact?
