Psalm 46:1

Did you know that the corona virus is just one more way to die? That is really the only reason why people are afraid of it - they are afraid that they might die, or their friends or family might die. But once they realize that there is a million and one other ways, then just one more way doesn't seem so scary. Though the corona virus seems frightening because it is easy to get, how many people have actually died from it? I haven't looked too much into it, but I've heard enough to know that more people have died from car crashes, or plane crashes, or just people being stupid.
When it's time for God to take you away, he has a million ways to do it. What makes you think he'll chose the corona virus? Though of course, he might, like the few people he has.
     But although people know there are other ways to die, I don't blame them for being afraid of the corona virus. True Christians don't have many reasons for being afraid of it, but those who are not true Christians... they do. Y'all, God is such a loving and merciful God. So loving and merciful that he gave us an... extremely easy way to get to heaven, even after our extremely terrible sins. We truly, only need to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. All the awesome other things, like Christians being unselfish and helping people out and being "good people" come after we have the gift of eternal life. And once we have it, death is not even kind of scary.
      Can we show Jesus that we are not afraid of the death he already defeated? Can we show Jesus that we still believe in Psalm 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."?

  1. We have a powerful God. Let's pray that in these times of heightened awareness of how fragile life can be that people turn to God for answers.
