The current pandemic COVID-19, caused by the Coronavirus, is a serious, life-threatening illness, and I urge everyone to take every measure available to them to protect themselves. In writing this post, I am not attempting to diminish the threat that COVID-19 poses to all people, regardless of their age or physical condition. If you are sick, contact your doctor or local emergency room by telephone and follow their instructions. COVID-19 is potentially fatal, and not to be trifled with.
News reports I have heard said that people are suffering from anxiety, fearing that they, or their loved ones will be infected. Many people are worried about their livelihood. In the short term, such fears are justified and understandable. In the long term, this will eventually pass. Things will return to “normal,” whatever that is these days. We have gone through challenges before. We have survived. Sometimes things come out better than they were before. (Book of Job) So, hang in there. Take it to the Lord in prayer. Lay your worries at His feet, and trust Him. He will provide.
Several times in my long life I have had everything I worked for taken away. God always provided a way back. (Romans 8:28) It also taught me not to get too attached to the things of this world. Lay up your treasures in heaven. That treasure cannot be stolen or destroyed. (Luke 12:27-34)
