Kindred,
To everything there is a season, a time for purpose under Heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
During times of trouble, be brave.
Brave the truth and do what you must for yourself, for your family and for humanity.
Though we experience similar seasons, we have different purposes or calling in life; our talents, our jobs and personality traits are different and suited for different purposes.
The Lord's purpose is like the seasons, each person experiences it in accordance to his or her perspective and specific purpose; and in accordance to the what that person has done.
During times of trouble, remember, "this too shall pass" like a rain storm.
While it is not the time to point fingers, it is a time for reflection (and action in helping those in need).
Reflect upon your purpose in life and the service to the Lord.
Reflect upon who you are as a person and who you need to be in order to meet the expectations and standards of the Lord.
Reflect upon past deeds or misdeeds in order to evaluate strenghts and vulnerabilities.
And if you have sinned, then confess, repent and atone.
Make peace with the Lord, not in wishful thinking or grandiose assumptions, but in humble truths of sincere revealing.
For everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under Heaven.
