Seventh of July and we are still in the midst of the COVID 19 (Wuhan Flu, China Flu, whatever name it will actually be remembered by). Of course we have been told that we will 'die' if we don't stay in our homes, now wear masks (unless your rioting...). So: good old common sense to wash your hands avoid the sick, avoid those at risk if you are sick and respect peoples personal space didn't work... Or maybe they have.
I listened to the BBC this morning and the drug that the US President touted a couple of months back, that the media screamed bloody murder would never work, actually works. Well maybe not, except when it does... Of course there are better drugs that the US bought up so there's none left for the rest of the world. I got the impression from the theme of the report that if the US populace would just vote the right way come November that all of this will just disappear...
It is like living for real in the middle of a Second City TV skit or Monty Python. And of course you are a "denier" if you don't buy into it all.
Oh well. Not much I can do. The Holy Bible predicts these kind of times, at least the possibility of a world government, so it is wise for me (and us all) to not get overly drawn into this latest storm-kettle.
Barb and I read Acts 5 this morning (we are reading a chapter a day of The Word). Peter gives us a clear representation of our responsibilities during times when those in rightful authority give us orders that contradict Gods clear leading (Peter was standing to answer his nations High-Priest whom even Paul later in the Scriptures apologies for not speaking correctly to). We are to obey, yet we are to obey God first. Acts 5:29 'Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.'
I believe in most cases it will be abundantly clear, of course in our current state you will be stepping out of the main-stream. You will be unpopular. There will be cases where it may not be as clear. You (and I) will need to be 'prayed up' and 'filled up' with The Word so that we easily recognize error.
So... July 7th. Have a great day, On Purpose! js
