Those who went to live in Jerusalem were taking a risk, but thinking of the good of the entire people. They weren't sent out on their own, though -- the blessings of the nation went with them.
So how do we bless one another?
Maybe it's a gift of food, a meal cooked for another. In these days, you could send a DoorDash delivery meal to someone's house.
Maybe it's some other material gift, or money itself. You could send a giftcard or some other gift that both communicates how you care and helps provide something that a person would have to get for themselves otherwise.
Maybe you reach out to them and have a conversation, to let them know you're thinking of them and are supporting them.
Maybe you simply continue to lift them up in prayer.
Whatever it may be, it's important that we bless one another, and that we continue to do it -- it's easy to do it once, but everyone you know is fighting something that will likely take weeks or months or years. May we be the kind of people who persist, who endure, and continue to bless months down the road, for we journey together, and we all need long-term support to help us make it through.
