This Crisis Is Not Cause for Alarm

As the spread of the Coronavirus and global infections thrust the world into a state of shock, awe, and dismay, the unknown virus upended hopefulness and expectations for greatness with the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. Before we give in to fear and panic, it’s imperative that we take time to remember what was on the other side of the disciples’ journey to the Gadarenes. The bible tells us there was a man bound by a legion of devils and needed freedom. After seeing Jesus’ miracle in his life, the people of the region forced Jesus and the disciples to leave the coast.

By surviving the storm, they made the gospel available to an entire region without having to leave the coast! Friends, let’s make it through this pandemic together! As I said earlier, many of us have had personal trials challenges us, our families and even our livelihood before the pandemic reached the United States, but we must press! We must survive! Can you imagine that there are people you don’t even know who are depending on you to survive this storm? Can you imagine that? This same Jesus who is riding through this storm with us wants us to have faith that He will see us through it. In your moments of doubt and weakness, pray and ask the Lord to help you. 

If you find that you are unwilling to make it on your own, you’re in good company! Remember that He knows what you can bear but He also knows the wealth and power of His investment in you! Fear not, Jesus is with us and He will not leave us nor forsake us. This crisis, though troubling is not cause for alarm! ​
