I don’t hide the fact that I am a Evangelical Bible Thumping, Gun Toting, American Patriot. I am a Christian, a work in progress because no human is perfect. I try not to judge and when I see some Christian going overboard with judging, I try to remind them that all have sinned and come short. I have learned in the last two years that the only way I can get through this crazy and sinful world is to have Faith and Trust God to bring me through whatever and everything that I face. This corona virus situation is no different. I have been preaching to everyone I know that they need to keep calm and go on with life but be prudent in how you get out and about. The sad problem I am seeing is that many Christians are in melt-down mode and I just don’t get it.
I was ripped into by a person who claimed to be a Christian, because I wasn’t upset about how contagious this corona virus can be and they questioned if I even took the threat seriously. I do take it seriously but I also believe completely that God’s Plan for me is all I need to think about. If I get the virus and die, I win, because I will get to be with the Lord for eternity. If I get sick and survive, I win, because I will have the immunity built up from being sick once, that I won’t get it again. If I don’t get the virus, I win, as God allows me to stay healthy. In any or all of these situations, because I believe what God has planned for me is the best outcome and His Will in my life.
Do I worry? Of course I do, but I can’t worry that much because I know God has this and all I have to do is follow along and not fight the situation. I worry more about my mom than myself, because I am her caregiver and I am the one going shopping and doing things in public and then coming home, hoping to get sprayed down with Lysol before getting around her. I take precautions and hope others would do the same, although I do know that there are some running around that shouldn’t be.
It is difficult to see fellow Christians in a panic. I hate to call them out but they do need to reconsider their walk with the Lord if they are scared. You must have hope and keep the faith if you a child of God and we must trust Him in all things. The strongest we can be is when we are down on our knees. God bless you all.
