So, What Now?

The Corvid19 virus issue is turning into a long-term trial. What is the best way of managing a trial that seemingly doesn't end or won't end? As Elihu, the fourth friend of Job, pointed out, we must return to our core values: God must be first in our focus. The Apostle Paul, living a life of crisis stated that his focus was always on "...Jesus, and Him crucified." The way to endure, persevere, and manage a long term-trial is to remain focused on God and Jesus Christ. They are the center, the core of lasting values. The world around us in merely temporary.
