America's Thorn In The Flesh
Luke 15:17 NKJV
17. But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger.'"
The above verse comes from the parable of the lost son.
America's thorn in the flesh is this corona-virus. At first we didn't think that it would end up as it has. All we knew at first was that it got it's start in China. And China had shut down the infected area. But did let people not from that area let them leave.
It wasn't until America started to see a lot of people getting affected and people dying did America acted and closed up our country. Then put in social distancing, and stay at home orders, and having nonessential business closed.
This thorn in the flesh that America has to deal with as caused a lot of distress and hardships. Not knowing how they are going to buy groceries and other essential things they need to have to survive this virus. Just like the son in the parable who spent his money foolishly and decided that it would be better to go back home.
The most important essential thing that is need is the Lord. So Churches also closed their doors to in door services, but a few didn't and got ridiculed for doing so. But a lot of churches went to doing live-streaming their services and some started drive-in services although some government officials tried to stop those. But the courts did step in and they were allowed.
For us that have our own thorn in the flesh, now had to deal with America's thorn in the flesh. But we have an edge, because we know that the only way to deal with a thorn in the flesh is to turn our thorn in the flesh over to the Lord. As the son went back to his father, we have returned back to our Father which is in heaven.
Have A Blessed Day,
