Crisis ConvertedSample
Theme: Praise
Crisis Converted Then:
What response could possibly be appropriate in the face of a God who liberates his enslaved people (again!) and provides for their every need? Praise is the only and natural reaction! Shouting, singing and joy echo through the desert as God’s people return to their homeland.
Crisis Converted Now:
What response could we possibly produce that adequately expresses our emotion at all that God has done for us in Jesus? Praise - shouting, singing, rejoicing! When Christ offers us comfort and compassion, we praise and offer thanks. We pray and sing, because he is leading us home. Take some time today in the midst of whatever and wherever the day finds you to sing praises to Jesus. Sing out your favorite song or sing a new one on your own.
Scripture
About this Plan
This study from Isaiah 40-55 explores our identity as people affected by trauma but living in hope. In the exile, God’s nation had to find new life when their old life had been completely overturned and destroyed. Similarly, we now find ourselves trying to “return to normal” in the aftermath of a global pandemic. Yet, God can take any crisis and convert it for his glory and our growth.
