"The Lord has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love; and a sound of mind." 2 Timothy 1:7
Ever since this epidemic spread has occurred, this scripture has been in my prayers every day. What this scripture means to me is that we, as Christians should not walk in fear. We want to always ask God to deliver us from all of our fears. What God is saying to me about fear in this season, is that we can not let social distancing stop us from worshiping the Lord. Let us not stop praying and connecting with God. I am grateful for the conference call we join now weekly. That is keeping us connected with each other praising God. We are the church no matter where we are. Ever since this virus has happened, I have been taking God more seriously and praising him.
"And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt." Exodus 12:13.
What this scripture means to me is that let us not fear what is going on around us. We can still be saved and ask God for deliverance even when we not in the church building. In this season, I still fear sometimes that this plague will not be over. I have a lot of concerns about when this epidemic spread will end. Instead of me thinking about the present, I keep thinking about what is going to happen tomorrow or next week. Is this virus is going to end tomorrow or next week? That is what I have been thinking about these past weeks. I know this COVID-19 spread will pass, and we will not see this moment again. I faith in that.
"And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee." Deuteronomy 7:15
What this scripture means to me in this season, is that during this epidemic virus. There have been a lot of people who have been contracted with the COVID-19 virus. Recently, my mother had been vomiting all night the other day. I had thought she was infected with the disease, but it was just food poisoning she had that irritated her stomach. I had got so worried at first that I thought she might get sick and die. I prayed that it did not happen, thank the Lord, that was not the case. I pray for those that have gotten infected with this disease. This viral spread is not a joke, and a lot of people are not taking this moment seriously. Hopefully, this spread will be a wake-up call for those that are not following God's rules of staying safe. I have faith that God will take away all the sickness in this season.
