The last few days has been pretty crazy to say the least. The growing number of covid-19 cases in Australia has meant a lot of new changes and restrictions in our part of the world. We can no longer hold church gatherings in person, and my son's school just closed. So for the next few months, we'll have to learn to get by mostly in our own home, with some home schooling and do everything else online.
To add further chaos to the situation, the global markets have been collapsing, and Bitcoin has been trading wildly and dropped by more than 50% over the weekend. And now today, we saw Steem exploding on the back of the Hive news. Sadly for me, I only managed to buy a very small amount before it took off. I had several more bids placed yesterday, but none of them got filled.
So my emotions have been getting a work out in recent times. As I face my shaky financial situation at the moment, I start regretting some investment decisions, and start worrying.
But then I'm reminded of the fact that our hope isn't in the things of this world. Christ has risen, and God is in control. I'm reminded that God is my Provider, and He will surely take care of my needs. And I'm reminded that we are called to lay treasures in heaven, for we are only temporary residents in this world, and our home is with Jesus.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Cor 4:16-18)

Amen. Thanks a lot for this brother. Hope you’re doing OK in the US. I know it must be hard not being able to return to your family at the moment. But we can rest in the assurance that God’s ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts than our thoughts.
