It's on Us

 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;" ~2 Timothy 3: 1-4

In one way or another, every human life on this earth has been touched by CV-19.

However, there are many plagues/epidemics existing today that are far more dangerous, doing far more damage than we can even grasp. And no country is immune to these ever-growing sicknesses. The list of some of the plagues/epidemics that have spread - and continue to spread - over the earth today are:

*The plague of pride

*The plague of hatred

*The plague of willful ignorance

*Contentious hearts

*Deceit

*Apathy

*Discriminating ideals

*Blind obedience

*Lack of common sense

*Belief that our individual opinion is the only one that counts

*Putting ourselves above others

*Dark hearts

*Unrighteous use of agency

*Unrighteous judgement

*Unrighteous dominion over others

*Selfishness

*Idol worship (This mean making idols of things and people).

*Leaning on the arm of flesh

*Fearing man more than God

*Placing other gods before "The God" (Money, power, prestige, material possessions, etc.).

*Acceptance of sin (Not naming a particular sin because sin is sin).

*Placing our own will ahead of the Lord's

And many more . . .

If we give it some serious thought, we will come to understand that every plague listed above has been brought about by one of two things: fear and unbelief. And it is fear and unbelief that morph these plagues into full-blown pandemics.

True faith in God crowds out fear and shifts our focus. Concentrating on the Lord and His power diminishes Satan's power, because we will no longer be giving him that power over us.

The Lord is our protection and our strength, and only He can truly heal us and help us through whatever will come.

May we all be continually prayerful, that we may no longer take part in any of the plagues assailing the children of God.

Happy Sabbath!
