Over the past months the coronavirus has put fear in a lot of hearts.
For the most part this fear has been destructive, because of the way it can paralyze us and keep us from attending to the things God wants us doing.
But there's a side of this fear that can be positive.
It can bring us face to face with our mortality, and help us realize we don't have time to waste when it comes to the work God has given us.
And that makes this short prayer from the Psalms a great way to respond to any fears about COVID-19:
"So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Ps.90:12).
It's here... in recognizing our time is short and then acting on it... we find another good thing from the coronavirus.
