Why do I place my trust in God over a pandemic? Why am I not taking a manmade abomination? Because I have promises.
“I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome PESTILENCE. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the PESTILENCE that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any PLAGUE come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” -Psalms 91:2-11 KJV
So what if I still get the COVID, does that mean God has failed? No, not by a long shot.
“If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.” Daniel 3:17-18 KJV
I tell my girls that I don’t care if a nuclear bomb was detonated right on top of my head, if God has not deemed it my time to go, then NOTHING ON THIS EARTH is going to take me out. If it is not my time to go, then I will emerge unharmed, unscathed, and unaffected by its blast. The same goes with any plague. My faith, my trust is always on the Lord Jesus Christ. He is bigger than anything this world can throw at me.
