This will mark the twenty fifth day of the ‘stay at home’ order. I wish a quick end was in sight, but who knows just how much longer that this madness will continue.
History will certainly be written about the events that have happened thus far to begin the year 2020 and the last part of 2019. Generations from now, people will read in their history books how the world was in chaos, not because of a world war, or a nuclear explosion, but by a mysterious virus with no present cure or vaccine. Vaccines, now there’s a hot button issue. I personally am torn in the middle on the dangers and effectiveness on vaccines. I have next to zero knowledge in medical science or chemistry, but I believe there are highly educated scientist on both sides of the debate.
We think we know where all this began, in China. The hows and the whys are still unclear. There are a lot of theories being thrown around. Maybe it was because of unsanitary meal preparations or disgusting cuisine choices. Perhaps it was developed in a Chinese lab, either as experiment gone horrible wrong in an attempt to be a superior leader in medical technology, or, and truly evil, an experiment in making biological warfare weaponry. We don’t know how this will end, what the mortality rate will be, what lessons will be learned. We don’t know what will happen coming out of all this. We can hope and pray however that historical documentation of this will be recorded in an accurate manner, and in the future, people will be told the truth about what happened, and it won’t be altered to fit someone’s narrative, or facts won’t be changed or destroyed because it may offend someone. Not that people in this country have ever before destroyed offensive pieces of history or anything of that nature.
Like I said, we don’t know what is going to become of all this. Prayerfully, relief will be soon, and our country and this world can get back to a more normal existence. We don’t know, but God does. He is already there, both in the immediate future, and in eternity. Those of us who know Him, who have trusted Christ only, Christ alone for their salvation, know that even if this gets much worse, our Heavenly home still awaits. If you haven’t yet asked Jesus to save you, do it now. This world is uncertain and scary. Heaven is just the opposite. Knowing Christ we can know these problems here are short term and will pass. But without Christ, it gets much worse after this world.
4 “And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two [b]copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:4-7 NKJV
