Why do I watch the news??? This is the question that I have been asking myself. What in the world is going on?? I know that this pandemic is making life hard for everyone, but science has proved time and again that this is not something that should be taken lightly. I know how hard it is to be without money. I have been in that situation even when a pandemic wasn't on.My grandmother would tell me that God would provide.You just have to trust in Him.
It also doesn't help when those who are leading our country can not agree on what is good for us during this time. It has caused people to totally ignore what is good for them. We can't make an informed judgement when we don't know the whole truth. I understand people who are protesting, because the leaders are not leading. Even when the medical doctors are telling leaders that we are not doing enough, they are being ignored. We need to lift these leaders up to God and pray for wisdom and discernment. I believe when leaders start to take this seriously, we will be able to make it through this without the second wave wiping even more of us out.
People are being shot and murdered by police officers, vigilantes, and others. At least on the news there is a story about this in tandem with deaths from covid-19. I want to scream out loud. Human life should matter to all, but the Devil is whispering in their ears, the reasons they feel it's ok to shoot someone out of anger, revenge, vigilantism, hurt, passion, or race is justified. It seems as if we forget the commandment, Matthew 22: 37-40 Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.” it is so important Mark and Luke also recorded it in their gospel, and it is also found in the Old Testament.
While I know that all these horrible things are happening God has given us armor to protect ourselves. During this time we need to put it on and pray. Ephesians 6:10-20 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Even though the song is All You Need is Love, I think it should be All You Need is God. It's time to battle the Devil and bring glory back to God.
Your in Christ,
Heather
