As long as we are alive life is going to happen. There will be things that arise that catch us off guard. That is when we lean in and pray not panic! We must keep our bible closer than our fear.
Right now, we are dealing with this COVID-19 issue but there are things that we can all do to help ourselves. This, in turn, will help the first responders who are on the front line battling this crisis. We need to be more socially responsible and stay home and use wisdom and follow what our government officials are saying to help protect each other. When I went grocery shopping a cashier said to me people are coming to the grocery store just to hang out because they don’t want to or just can’t see themselves staying home. Remember what the bible says regarding all of us, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” – Phillippians 4:13.
First, there were news reports of people panicking regarding toilet paper and buying up all they could find. Now the news reported an increase in buying chickens. A business owner said he had a tremendous increase in sales because people are pouring into his business buying chicks expecting to ensure that they will have eggs. THIS IS PANIC NOT PRAYER! He explained how chicks cannot even have eggs for six months. He also pleaded that if those who buy them find they cannot do all the required elements to care for them to please return them to his store and he will buy them back. Now the latest thing is that the FDA is requesting that the makers of hand sanitizers please add denatured alcohol to the products to discourage people, especially children, from drinking the liquid. Hand sanitizers are meant for external use, they are not for ingestion. According to the National Poison Data System calls from last month in March related to hand sanitizer increased by 79% compared to March 2019. This is truly disturbing and the highest level of PANIC! The bible says, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore, take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? or, what shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. – Matthew 6:25-34.
