We are indeed in some strange times. A virus is loose and most of us are or have been in a kind of lock down or quarantine in some ways. I live in a country that has taken a different path in all this. Things will never be the same. It will always be before and after Covid19.<\/p>\n

It is easy to loose perspective and hope, but that is what the devil wants! Yes it is easy to ask where God is in all this. The answer is: He is here in the mids of all this. Yes even in the mids of the riots and demonstrations.<\/p>\n

So why is he not doing anything? Well, this is tricky. In a way he is doing things, but not in a way that will step on our free will. Yes, there we are boys and girls, the human free will. So when we ask for forgiveness and repent he will hear us, and he will save us. It might take some time. ( Just check in the bible on how long it took for the Jewish people to be saved from the Egyptian slavery.) It might not take that long, but it might give some perspective.<\/p>\n

But be sure that he has it all under control. God is in control, even if it does not look like it. Just remember that we are at war. Not a war between humans, but a spiritual one. Ehpesians 6:10-18\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Whole Armor of God<\/span><\/h4>\n

10\u00a0<\/sup>Finally,\u00a0be strong in the Lord and in\u00a0the strength of his might.<\/span>\u00a011\u00a0<\/sup>Put on\u00a0the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against\u00a0the schemes of the devil.<\/span>\u00a012\u00a0<\/sup>For\u00a0we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against\u00a0the rulers, against the authorities, against\u00a0the cosmic powers over\u00a0this present darkness, against\u00a0the spiritual forces of evil\u00a0in the heavenly places.<\/span>\u00a013\u00a0<\/sup>Therefore\u00a0take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in\u00a0the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.<\/span>\u00a014\u00a0<\/sup>Stand therefore,\u00a0having fastened on the belt of truth, and\u00a0having put on the breastplate of righteousness,<\/span>\u00a015\u00a0<\/sup>and,\u00a0as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.<\/span>\u00a016\u00a0<\/sup>In all circumstances take up\u00a0the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all\u00a0the flaming darts of\u00a0the evil one;<\/span>\u00a017\u00a0<\/sup>and take\u00a0the helmet of salvation, and\u00a0the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,<\/span>\u00a018\u00a0<\/sup>praying\u00a0at all times\u00a0in the Spirit,\u00a0with all prayer and supplication. To that end,\u00a0keep alert with all perseverance, making\u00a0supplication for all the saints,<\/span><\/p>\n

So remember that when it seems hopeless, dark, and that there is no use, pray and give thanks! Even if it is for the smallest thing. Then when you hav done that, pray some more and give thanks. If you are to weak, ask some one to help you or pray for and with you. For there two or three are gathered He will be in the mids. God is closer than you think. He is with you wherever you are.<\/p>\n
