Scared of COVID-19? Who do you Trust?
By Edison Swartz
COVID-19 is not a cause of a problem in your system... It is the symptom of a more problematic issue in our world today. You can be highly exposed to Covid-19 and never show symptoms if you place your trust in the right place.
For years we've been taught about Darwin's theory of evolution and random chance... At the same time we have been contradicting Darwins claims by saying that no it isn't all random chance, everything is by the design of God... Why do we still believe that we get sick purely by random chance?
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has taken over the world... but maybe it's actually fear that has taken over. It's time for some truth about disease and how this virus actually works. COVID-19 is a little protein package... thats it! It is a little ball of proteins containing RNA. In order for this virus to affect you, it must first penetrate the cell wall. It can only detect cells with certain recognizable "flags" on the cell walls. It's not alive and its not out to get you.
The Coronavirus can only affect you if your body allows it. Yes. The body allows the coronavirus to attack your system. COVID-19 must be ingested by your cells in your lungs and opened in order to change the manufacturing process of that cell to start making more COVID-19 proteins. Your immune system is designed specifically attack these kind of events. Upon recognition, the immune system starts covering the virus with other protiens that shield it from the body's cells. The virus along with all these antibodies gets "eaten" by macrophages. So when you start showing COVID-19 symptoms, your body is not attacking the virus. Why would your body allow this? It all boils down to one issue.
Heres a little history... Back in the garden of Eden, when Eve sinned, she was told that "in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:5). Ever since that point, we as the human race switched our trust from God to ourselves. We became our own God.
Now also understand this... There are needs of the body and needs of the spirit. We are all familiar with the body's needs of oxygen, food, water, warmth, etc. The spiritual needs are hard for science to explain... However, we all know that there is a definite need for love, belonging, trust, safety, etc.
So where do we get these spiritual needs? Pre-sin, these were supplied by God and God alone. After sin, we relied on ourselves and our friends/neigbours to fulfill these needs. The problem is... How many times have you been lied to by your best friend? How many times has your trust been broken? How many times have you been cheated on by your husband or wife? I would venture to say that this has happened more than once to all of us.
1 Corinthians 13:8 says "Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away" (1 Corinthians 13:8 NIV). The truth is that if we would ONLY rely on God and God alone, our trust would never be broken, we would never cease to be loved, and we would always feel secure in His arms...
There are consequences for attempting to obtain these spiritual needs from the people around us who continually fail to consistently provide. These consequences show up as symptoms in the body. The body is a built in dashboard that shows warning lights if we are not getting these spiritual needs. We know that the mind has ultimate control over the body. Depression is the easiest example... but Diabetis, Cancer, the common cold, etc. have all been shown to be linked to the state of the mind. These diseases are all symptoms of a lack of trust in God to fulfill your spiritual needs.
So back to COVID-19... Who are you trusting? If you are trusting your friends, the government, your family, etc for your safekeeping, wellbeing, and love... you have GOOD reason to be scared. Your body will show signs of your lack of trust in God to fulfill your needs.
However, if you trust in God solely to provide you with His love that never fails... You can walk into the emergency room and be coughed on for hours and never show one sign of sickness.
You DO NOT get sick by random chance. Place your trust in God and experience true freedom.
