We live in strange times. Isolated at home, unsure how long
the virus pandemic will continue.
It can be unsettling.
But God is still on His throne. The Psalms declare it. He is
not unaware of our situation. The Gospels tell of it. He has a plan for us and
it is still in place. The Epistles affirm it.
God is with us.
The Christian leader and theologian Ian Barclay explained it
as God dwelling with us: The root of the Bible word is God ‘pitching
His tent with us.’
Loosely translated, that’s the same as God Zooming with us,
God Skyping with us.
So when we meet as a church or small group by electronic
means, He is still with us in the same way as if we were together.
This was brought home to me by the beautiful way His Holy
Spirit was with us on Sunday at Chroma. Just a few at the centre. Thousands on
line. And most importantly of all, God with us.
We have a God who Zooms.
