Try This the Next Time You Face a Crisis

Charles Darwin has an interesting idea about survival.  He says, "It's not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives.  It is the one that is most adaptable to change."  Change isn't something most of like to consider but when it comes to survival, we appear to be more open to trying new ideas.  "Social distancing" is something many leaders are advocating to slow down the spread of the latest coronavirus circulating the globe.

The one I follow practiced social distancing when he felt overwhelmed by the crowds.  He wasn't worried about sickness or disease.  In fact, he cured all sorts of diseases.  Jesus was more focused on quiet time in order to prepare himself properly for the challenges ahead.  I believe social distancing has other benefits besides helping to slow the spread of COVID-19.  The top three for me are prayer, meditation, and reading.  Spending time in nature is also a great survival technique when your world is in a state of chaos.  Give quiet time a try then next time you face a crisis.  Have a great day.
