The Real Truth

This coronavirus is a complete hoax. This is the democratic ploy to get to President Trump. The media is making this out to be a way bigger deal than it really is. The government is using this to be able to control every part of the American people’s lives. How can people not see through this? This is is just another step to communism. The media reports that hospitals are full, but in reality they are way below capacity.

There are not near as many deaths as are being reported. There is a huge cover up in China. They knew about this way before they said anything to anyone. They had this going on for months before they alerted anyone else in any other countries.

The coronavirus is not a hoax. It is for real. This is very serious. We must obey the guidelines set forth by the CDC. The federal government is working very hard to ensure the health of every American. President Trump and his staff have done an outstanding job of doing everything they can to keep everyone safe. They have organized a coronavirus task force and they are doing a great job. They are getting the proper necessities to healthcare workers in a timely fashion.

President Trump and his team have done a terrible job of helping Americans. He doesn’t care about the American people. He has his own hidden agenda. He is more worried about calling out the democrats during this time than actually helping our country. He waited too long to do anything about this pandemic. The stock market has tanked. Cattle prices are terrible. Beef prices are getting ready to spike. Unemployment is the highest since the great depression.

President Trump has done a great job of turning our economy around once and he will do it again. He is the perfect man for the job. The economy will bounce back very quickly once this is over. The government’s stimulus package to Americans was just what was needed. That will help stimulate the economy. This will be over soon and we will be a better country than ever and the American people will be stronger than ever!

We have all heard this over the course of the last few months. Regardless of what side you are on (which this is not a political post, so please do not take it that way) you have heard all of these arguments. I have actually heard of people losing good friends over these viewpoints. While this pandemic has swept across the country, the differing of opinions has been mind blowing to me. You don’t have to go very far to find someone with the same opinion of this whole thing as you have. But, you also don’t have to go far to find someone with the opposite opinion as you.

While there are so many things that we as Americans don’t know, everyone has their opinions and beliefs as to what this pandemic is all about. We all have our beliefs on how it has been handled and how we think it should be handled. But, in reality, we actually don’t know the truth. We don’t really know exactly what has gone on behind closed doors. We don’t know about all the hidden agendas. But, we believe what we believe.

Throughout all of this, there is only one thing we can be sure of. There is only one absolute truth during this strange time in our nations history. That truth is Jesus Christ. That is the only thing that is completely pure. We can have all the other beliefs we want about how all of this has gone down and what will happen from this point forward. But, the only thing we can count on 100% right now is God. He is the one constant. He will see us through it all. We can put our trust in him and know that everything will be ok because he is in control. That should be our main focus right now.

We need to pray to God that this country will unite. We need to pray to God that all the people sick will be healed form the coronavirus. We need to pray that all of the lies and deceitfulness in this world will end. We can put our trust in him that while others will try to deceive us or try to get us to be on their side of the fence, whatever side that is, God will tell us the truth. If we go to the Bible and really study and examine our own lives, we will discover that sometimes the truth is hard to handle. We will figure out that if we worried more about our own life and our own walk with God instead of where the coronavirus came from or who is to blame, we would see that we have some work to do. We don’t really need to be so worried about if someone on tv is telling us the truth, but know that the Bible is the truth and we need to focus more on that.

Satan is at work every day. He is working hard to help this pandemic divide our country and cause us to stumble. But, maybe, just maybe, more people have sought the help of God during this time. Maybe people have had more time or have been searching harder for answers. Maybe they need a source of strength. Isaiah 40:29-31 says, “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary , they will walk and not be faint.”

Let us use this time as a time to grow closer to God. We don’t know what the future holds in regards to this pandemic. But, we know that God is in charge. We know what our future holds as Christians and we can have great peace in that. We know that when we look to God for strength and stay close to him, satan has a bad day. Making satan have a bad day should be one of our goals each day when we wake up.

I challenge everyone this week to not worry about whether this whole thing is a hoax or for real. Take care of yourself and your family the best way you can. Whether it is a hoax or whether it is as real as some say it is, we can’t change it. But one thing we can change is how close we are to God. We can change how strong our faith is. Someone might say, ” I have a very strong relationship with God. There’s not much more I can do.” They might say, “My relationship with God is good enough. I’ve got a lot on my plate and a lot I’ve got to do.” When we start thinking this way, we are at a spiritual plateau. We should want to keep climbing. The minute we think we are good enough, we might as well be going backwards. So put some extra time into God’s word this week. Spend some extra time with God in prayer. Find a time each day to be alone with God. Mark 1:35 says; “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” Even the only perfect human to ever walk the earth took time to be alone with God. If it is important enough for Jesus the Son of God to do, then it is definitely important enough for me to do!!!
