I was driving home yesterday afternoon and noticed that there are still piles of snow in parking lots where snowplows piled up the snow. The snow in most places, where it wasn't piled up, is long gone, but in places where there was lots of snow piled together, some of that remains.
It made me think of Shadrach and his friends. On their own, isolated from their religious community, it's tough to survive. But the power of God was with them, even in the fire, and so they were able to endure. They weren't alone, and so they could survive the heat.
When I think of the Ukrainian church, how can the global church connect with them? How can we support them? How can we remind them that the Holy Spirit is still at work, and through the power of God, they will be able to endure what might otherwise be unendurable, because they are not alone? May the Spirit make us one with our brothers and sisters in every time and place, that we may be knit together as one body, one community, serving and praising God together.
