This Holy Week is unlike any during my lifetime. I normally am ready to celebrate Easter. Usually, I draw closer to God by preparing spiritually. This year, church will be online and we will not see family. I did not buy candy for church egg hunts. I have been doing Easter devotions, but am more focused on things going on in the world.

Matthew 6:33 is “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”

Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011

Matthew talks seeking earthly needs in the verses leading to this one. Instead of getting caught up in this Corona madness, I need to seek Jesus. Many mornings, I spend too much time staring at my devotions and worrying. I have more time to spend in God’s Word, but allow distractions to get in the way. Even though we are in the midst of a global crisis, God is still in charge.

Easter is coming, even though we are stuck at home. I am grateful the resurrection message is still the same. Jesus paid the penalty so I am forgiven. I am free from sin. Thank you Jesus, for paying my sin debt. I am free to celebrate Easter.

Happy Easter to you and your family!
