'Selling' Corona

Mike's (Not So) Easy Sunday Message

“Covid-19! Get your Covid-19, here!”, the street vendor called out as people passed him by. “It’s free! Covid-19, free for all! Step right up!” Are you angry with this vendor? I mean, he’s giving away Covid-19!! I don’t want to get it from him! I don’t want to get it at all! The nerve of him giving people Covid-19!


This is the dilemma we’re faced with today – people ‘giving’ other people the Covid-19 virus. Let’s face it; that is happening. People that might show symptoms, haven’t been diagnosed, and are still ‘walking the streets’ possibly infecting others! This is where YOU come in! YOU have to take the responsibility and use your common sense to avoid these situations. It might not be the ‘100% cure-all’ but, it will lower your odds of getting it. Always assume there’s going to be someone else who will act carelessly in these times. In the end it’s You who must avoid other’s carelessness! And, if you do know God, guess what: you are NOT IMMUNE to Covid!


So, where is God? He’s right here. Why does He allow us to suffer like this? He doesn’t ‘allow’ anything. Then why is there a God? Or, is there even a God? Once you stop thinking that God is ‘The Magic-Man’ with His magic-wand that ‘runs the world’ and decides everyone’s fate, you will have a much easier time knowing what God is and what role He plays in our existence.


People, careless or not, act on their own thoughts and free will. They choose to ‘do what they want’ regardless of any dire circumstances or outcomes. But there are some who ‘talk to God’ and live through His advice, and there are others who don’t talk to God and decide to live through their own advice. Weigh those two choices in your mind for a while. Ask yourself; Would I rather be ‘in-tune’ with God and the laws that He set forth? Or would I rather ignore these natural laws and only do what I want? That’s the difference between people that pray (seeking God’s ‘natural’ and moral advice) and those that don’t pray.


If anyone reading this has (or will contract) Covid-19, do not BLAME anyone. If there is a ‘vendor on a street corner’ giving out the virus, take care (don’t be care-LESS), keep your distance, and don’t accept it. For you will know if you’ve worked diligently enough to avoid Covid-19. It is up to YOU! Ask God to guide you into making sensible decisions. Prayer will make all the difference in the choices you make!
