Reflection:\u00a0\u00a0Celebrate The Word****
\n<\/em><\/strong>Before COVID-19, many would read their daily devotions and try to hear the voice of God. Often times daily commitments\u00a0and responsibilities would cause some to rush through the readings or even interrupt that time spent with God. However, during the pandemic, we can appreciate the time we now have with Jesus! We have precious time to read, pray, and reflect on the word and messages of God. This provides more clarity as to what God wants us to know and understand. We have a better sense of God’s presence and are more confident to face another day. Only by really studying the Word of God every day can we hear God’s heart. Let us not only listen with our ears but hear with our hearts and then celebrate his truth.<\/p>\n
