How are we called to respond to events like Covid19? We should obviously follow CDC guidelines. We should also be called to prayer and seeping our spiritual connections with God! We are called to not be anxious or worry.
Matthew 6:25-34
Anxiety and working has everything to do with our level of faith. We have to focus on the unseen more than the seen. The "seen" for us is the current pandemic. The struggles we are all going through in the interruption of our daily lives. The "unseen" is our spiritual reality.
Do not be anxious!
Jesus says, "therefore" before saying do not be anxious. What is the "therefore"? In Christ, God is our all powerful loving father who can do anything! 1 Peter 5:7 cast all anxiety on God because he cares!
Matthew 6:26,28 how much more does God care about us and value us his children! Only through God is there true scape from anxiety.
Who is our God. Where is God? God is with us! God is there in our good days and our bad days.
Seek first the Kingdom!
Matthew 25:32 our anxieties reveal where our priorities are! When your seeking the kingdom first your hope is in the next life and we invest in our earthly home! The early Christians took these words to heart through very difficult times!
Hebrews 10:32-35
The deeds of Christians in early times when similar crisis where ongoing had a huge impact on the spread of the gospel.
Mathew 10:28
