The whole world, countries where cases have been confirmed but also where corornaviruses have not yet arrived, are currently experiencing situations of general fear, people are panicking, due to the spread of an enemy with which many nations are fighting. in the world.
COVID-19 arrived as a messenger announcing death in every place where it makes a presence, filling the hearts of people who walk without God, robbing the peace of their homes and bringing despair to the families of the earth. Only the Word of God prepares us for these events.
Messenger of satan.
1 Kings 19: 1-3
Ahab gave Jezebel the news of all that Elijah had done, and of how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying: Thus the gods do to me, and even add me, if tomorrow at this time I have not put your person like that of one of them. Seeing the danger, he got up and left to save his life, and came to Beersheba, which is in Judah, and left his servant there.
1 Kings 20: 1-4
Then Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and with him thirty-two kings, with horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought it. And he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus says Ben-hadad: Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your beautiful children are mine. And the king of Israel answered and said: As you say, my lord king, I am yours, and all that I have.
1Kings 20: 7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the country, and said to them, Understand, and see now how this man seeks but evil; For he has sent me for my wives and my children, and for my silver and for my gold, and I have not denied him.
Both Elijah and King Ahab received messengers who brought news of death; Elias, because of fear, felt that his life was in danger and fled in terror. Ahab was overcome by fear upon hearing the message and knowing the large army that would attack him, fear led him to make the decision to turn over all his possessions, including the family for fear of going to a battle that he considered lost.
They both forgot because of fear that the God of Israel was almighty and would fight on behalf of his people. In the same way today a messenger named COVID-19 appears on the world scene, and the message he brings is death, despair and despair and we must keep the faith and declare the word that the God of heaven is in control of the situation and he will guard his people.
Our trust must be in God.
Psalms 127: 1-2
If Jehovah does not build the house, Those who build it work in vain; If Jehovah does not guard the city, He guards the guard in vain. For others it is that you get up at dawn, and go late to rest, and that you eat bread of sorrows; Well, God will give his beloved the dream.
As citizens, we must respect and comply with all the prevention protocols determined by the governing bodies in health, but fear has caused many people to take desperate measures. Nothing you can do is enough if you don't include God in the equation, the main ingredient of your prevention must be your faith in God.
A promise rests on you.
Psalms 91: 9-10
Because you have placed Jehovah, who is my hope, the Most High for your habitation, No evil will come upon you, Nor will your dwelling place touch.
The safest refuge, the best antidote against this scourge, is to make Jesus our home, take refuge in him and rest calmly in his promises, the one he has promised to keep us.
Blessings be multiplied to you!...
