Living Well Posted on June 11, 2021June 10, 2021 by Amy MurekioDevotional: When your whole world changes - Covid-19 Special Edition Share Tweet Pin Share Share It’s been hard to live well during the COVID-19pandemic. Even the routine, everyday tasks ofliving aren’t the same. Just when I think I have it allfigured out, things change again. I’ve always been able to reach out and help others,but right now I don’t know what people need orwhat I can do to help them. God created us to be his partners inshowing his love for and providinghelp to people in need. So it’s not a surprise that we feel fulfilled whenwe’re able to contribute to the well-being ofothers—it’s what God created us to do. The Lord is close to the brokenheartedand saves those who are crushed in spirit.Psalm 34:18 When Jesus came to earth, he was generous, kindhearted,and comforting to many people. By caring for others,he showed us how to live well by loving well. The Spirit of the SovereignLord is on me,because theLord has anointed meto proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim freedom for the captivesand release from darkness for the prisoners,to proclaim the year of theLord’s favorand the day of vengeance of our God,to comfort all who mourn,and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beautyinstead of ashes,the oil of joyinstead of mourning,and a garment of praiseinstead of a spirit of despair.They will be called oaks of righteousness,a planting of theLordfor the display of his splendor.Isaiah 61:1–3 What healing, kindness, and comforthave you received from God?In what ways can you share that lovingcare with others?
