Learning from the Disruption: Embracing New Opportunities

In a world filled with disruptions, it is important to embrace the new opportunities that arise. Rather than longing for a return to normal, we should view these disruptions as a chance to learn and adapt. Just as the past has seen disruptions and challenges, we can look back for perspective and recognize that we have overcome and grown from them. By discerning the signs of our present times and understanding our own unique calling, we can navigate through the chaos and make a positive impact. As followers of Jesus, we can be agents of reconciliation, bringing light to a divided and chaotic world. We can also find hope in the ultimate future, the wedding feast of the Lamb, and understand that our current disruptions are part of a bigger story. Rather than seeking a return to the past, we can lean into the chaos and trust that God is shaping us for a new normal and a future filled with purpose and joy.
