We\u2019re sensing the shortness of life, are more aware of the reality of death, are feeling anxious about the temporary nature of jobs, and are concerned about the limitations of health care.<\/p><p>COVID-19 has transported us to a new place. The myth of normality is exposed. We\u2019re stuck in the present, with no enchanted remote control to click fast-forward, or no way to magically turn back the clock.<\/p><p>Yet it\u2019s not all doom and gloom.

Note the phrase \u201cwhile he is near.\u201d Don\u2019t assume that because life is in lockdown, that this isn\u2019t a pivotal moment in our existence. The Lord is near, and if we don\u2019t act, we may miss the chance to find Him.<\/p><h4><strong>Faith under duress.<\/strong><\/h4><p>It\u2019s often during the difficult, dislocated, dreary, desolate, disorienting, or depressing times that faith is nurtured. When the going gets tough, that\u2019s when we\u2019re more likely to seek and find the Lord.<\/p><p><strong>This is an opportunity to help each other connect with Jesus.<\/strong> The pandemic confronts us with the delusion of independence and self-sufficiency. Now that we\u2019re face to face with our frailty, being at home is a good place to discover that we\u2019re not alone \u2013 that nothing can separate us from the love of God.<\/p><h4><strong>Fostering faith personally.<\/strong><\/h4><p>Many people are looking forward to better days \u2013 holding out for life to get better when the lockdown ends.

Part of modelling faith is acknowledging our shortcomings and encouraging our children to fix their eyes on Jesus, \u201cthe pioneer and perfecter of faith\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=hebrews+12%3A2&amp;version=NIV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hebrews 12:2)<\/a>.<\/p><p><strong>Changing the family tree.<\/strong><\/p><p>Children have no choice in the selection of their parents, but they can and should choose a spiritual father.

Maybe say, \u201cIt\u2019s time for you to be adopted!\u201d This could be a shocking suggestion, especially if your children think the lockdown has been wearing on your nerves. So quickly explain (with a smile on your face), how in addition to belonging to your DNA family, God wants your children to belong to His family.<\/p><p>Believing, belonging and becoming. There\u2019s no real future for our children if they don\u2019t have faith. Let\u2019s use the lockdown to encourage children to embrace a faith that relies on Jesus, responds to Jesus, rejoices in Jesus, receives from Jesus, and reproduces the character of Jesus.<\/p><p><strong>Here\u2019s the bottom line: The greatest pandemic isn\u2019t COVID-19, it\u2019s sin.<\/strong> If, after the pandemic, children have come to Jesus or deepened their faith in
