The world has turned upside down the past week or so. It’s so easy to get discouraged but I HAVE to remember who is in charge – the God of Angels Armies. He’s ALWAYS on my side. If I can’t trust God then there is no one whom I can trust – no one. He is the creator of the universe. He is All Powerful, All Knowing and Everywhere. There is nothing that has taken Him by surprise, including all this craziness with COVID-19. We don’t always or should say rarely understand why things like this happen.
This evening I read a funny story from the book “Can’t Make This Stuff Up” by Susannah B Lewis. We sure can’t make this stuff up about what has happened the past few weeks with COVID-19. Something so small has turned the world upside down. If we had been told a few weeks ago that this was going to happen we wouldn’t have believed it. Food shortages – Paper shortages – Cleaner Shortages – Schools closed – All events over 10 canceled – All bars closed starting on St Patrick’s Day of all days – Restaurant limited on seating – and much more. Truth has been much stranger than fiction recently.
Who would have thought that all of our well planned and spur of the moment activities, trips, etc are now not occurring? The uncertainty of it all. The unknown. Not knowing when things will get back to normal. What can I hold onto when nothing makes sense? God. I have to remember that He is the God of Angel Armies. Whom shall I fear?
He told us “Fear not, for I have overcome the world.” Either you believe that, and are therefore a Christian, or you don’t, and aren’t. As Christians, NOTHING of this world should frighten us. God is, and always will be, in control of it all.
