I have always believed that when my time comes I will go out with a “sword in my hand.” Although I used that expression metaphorically, I never realized the “sword” I will carry is the Bible.
“In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Ephesians 6: 16-17
God Is In Control
Not too long after the word covid entered our vocabulary I made a simple statement that I thought would be obvious to all… God is in control. But apparently it wasn’t so obvious and it even made some people angry with me and with “God.”
While the world frantically searched for a vaccine to control and eliminate covid, I said that covid could not be stopped until God allowed it to be. God is the creator of science and will always be one step ahead of the worlds scientists. Then came the vaccines to prove me wrong, but then came the variants, Delta followed by Omicron. I believe that until we acknowledge that God is in control and come to him we could see one variant after another.
The Bible tells us that we have today and tomorrow is not guaranteed. If covid, a constantly expanding and self serving Federal Government, Big Pharma, and a politically biased MSM have made people aware of that fact, then Lord willing, maybe some good will come out of this.
