The world has been immersed with fear from the Coronavirus but I haven’t seen a big change in people’s attitudes toward God or an outpouring of evangelism heading towards a spiritual revival. So why not? God has been sending warnings to mankind since the beginning of time. Some heed those warnings and others either make excuses or write it off as a natural occurrence.
From the people I have come across, they seem more inconvenienced with the virus than anything else. They can’t go on their vacations or go shopping like they used to. They are having to stay at home and help their kids with school work. A lot of them are out of a job and sit around the house all day playing video games and watching TV. No one can attend any sporting events or concerts. Even the pools and beaches have closed. Yet very few are worried about the long term ramifications of what this is doing to the economy, our bodies and our mental health.
God sends us merciful messages via coronavirus, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, famine, etc and beckons us to repent. People seem inconvenienced and not desperate! The countries attitude after 911 was so different than what we are facing now. I am not sure if this was because we actually had a physical enemy to fear. But it didn’t take long after the destruction of 911 that things went back to normal and the patriotic mood depleted. I didn’t accept Christ into my life until I was burdened beyond my strength! I pray that people will wake up and realize their need during this time for God. I wish that people wouldn’t have to go through the pain I experienced but God’s ways are not our ways and we need to trust Him that His will be done in every situation. Keep praying for people, our country, the world.
