Peace in Pandemic and Pandemonium My word of the year for 2021 came early again—last August. So you’d think I’d have posted this sooner, but that’s another story. “Okay, but God,” I said, “I don’t think I like the implications of that word.” “Adapt.” He said “Can You take that one back? May I have a different one? — Or perhaps You can add to it please, Lord?” “Trust. Follow.” Jesus said. Adapt doesn’t mean compromise truth, change the goal, or deviate from the message and call God gave us. But sometimes the route may require prayer and re-reckoning. We may need to adapt our sails to the change in wind. The only thing certain is uncertainty—that and God’s faithfulness.
