Stir Crazy

From the series Untriggered

Call it “isolation,” “healthy at home,” “social distancing,” or “cabin fever.” These are words that
capture this idea: nowhere to go, and nothing to do. Couple that with long days, messy homes,
heavy workloads and close quarters, and it is an excellent recipe for a stir-crazy household. And
we’ve all felt it in this season. The conditions seem perfect for restlessness. Yet God is calling us
loosen our grip on temporary conditions and take hold of enduring constants. He invites us to a
peace that cannot be manufactured by our own strength, and many times he does His best work
when we feel the weakest. In this season of sheltering-in-place, we have an opportunity to see with
our own eyes the God who is our shelter. There may be no better time in our lives than this season
to put into practice fixing our thoughts on God’s truth and priorities so that we can experience,
maybe for the first time, His enduring, unshakeable, unending peace.
