Dealing With Corona Virus Uncertainty

If you find yourself in a quandary about the myriad of issues surrounding the Corona Virus, you certainly are not alone.

Do I go to church or is it best to worship online? Should I wear my mask every time I go into a public place? Should I refrain from eating in restaurants even though they seem to be taking proper precautions to block the spread of COVID-19? Will I be safe taking the vaccine? Should I just forget it all and go on as if nothing has changed.

So many questions! Who do you listen to when trying to evaluate your best course of action? Truly, there is not a one-size fits all solution. People are different and so are circumstances.

I have come to rely on scripture in a new way during these troubling times. Ultimately, only God knows the best course of action for any individual in any circumstance. I’m trying to stay informed as I’m seeking His guidance – which include listening to His promptings about which news to believe, along with which is the best choice of action for me. That’s still the best way to roll.

Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God – who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly – and it will be given to him.    (James 1:5 CSB)

When Jesus left those troubled disciples before His death on the cross, He knew they’d be confused and overwhelmed. He knew they needed guidance – MUCH GUIDANCE – in the days ahead.

I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever. (John 14:6 AMP)

That’s it! We need a counselor to help us make the best plan of action personally, for the Corona Virus. Did Jesus really mean He would help us know what to do in working through this crazy mess?

Yes indeed! If you have accepted Jesus into your heart as the Lord of your life, then the Holy Spirit has entered into a living relationship with you. He lives in you and is constantly with you. He IS your Counselor and will help you make each and every decision that is before you. I can’t tell you the best approach for YOU, but He can – and He will. Seeking His guidance and then following in obedience to those inner promptings delivered to you heart and mind, will keep you stable as we continue to walk through these uncertain days.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.   

(Proverbs 3:5-6 HCSB)
