The Coronavirus: My Personal Christian Perspective
I easily could have gone twice as long with this video. I wanted to offer some encouragement to those of you who might need it.
Matthew 10:29-31 tells us the Lord knows what happens to the sparrows and so He knows what is happening to us; He even knows the number of the hairs on our heads. Let us take all reasonable precautions - as are known and recommended - during this time, and let us trust in the Lord during this time too.
As we are told in Philippians 4:6, be anxious for nothing but by prayer with thanksgiving make our requests known to God.
Stay safe everyone. You're in my prayers.
More silver linings:
-Comic Relief. I finally get why people made jokes about the black plague. Keeping our sense of humor throughout all of this has made it very bearable and relatable. I love the funny memes and videos that people are putting out.
-People are outside more and going on more walks. As long as we're social distancing, this is awesome. I can't tell you the number of people I've seen out taking a walk with their family or dogs.
-Lives will be saved because of social distancing. I'd like to think of all the lives we're saving by staying inside.
-More baking and homemade meals!! So many people are going on YouTube and making homemade breads and bakes, myself included. Our hobbies are being expanded.
-Our pets! Think of how happy our pets are now that we're home all day.
-And best of all, think of how many people are being drawn to God in this time. When something like this happens, people tend to look up. They tend to pray, dust off their Bibles, and seek an eternal perspective.
