This quarantine will come to an end. When it does, will we be those who would have simply survived this global glitch in the matrix, expecting to just resume life as normal. Or will we be those who recognise that things will never return back to normal post COVID-19 and that God has allowed the reset button to be pressed in each and every one of our lives to establish a new normal.

And this new normal that is imminently arriving for each and every one of us - has the divine capacity to be a personalised, heavenly blueprint for each individual, prayerfully carved out in the solitude compelled by this quarantine, found within the hidden places of intimacy and communion with God - as we choose to use this time well.

This is not a time to be a mere spectator. It is not a time to drink from the spiritual wells of another person’s pursuit of God. And as powerful and precious as the counsel and prophetic revelations of those that hear from God are, they simply cannot replace our own pursuit, to press in and hear from God for ourselves in His Word, in prayer and communion - so that we can truly know what His new normal for each and every one of us.

May we not settle for second hand direction during these glorious times when God is calling us partner with Him and to walk with Him in the closest of unions. May we be intimately acquainted with the plans and purposes the He has for us as we allow Him to divinely direct us out of this unprecedented season into our promised land.
