Quarantine Week 2 Scripture
3/26/2020
It's week 2 of quaratine from COVID-19.
This verse has been on my brain.
Psalm 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."
Then I also came across Psalm 44:6 and following that says the same thing in other words. "I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory, but you (God) give us victory over our enemies... In God we make our boast all day long and we will praise Your name forever."
As the world has gone crazy, revealing heards that are anxious and in a panic, people are hoarding resources and stockpiling toilet paper. People are clearly putting their trust in stockpiled supplies, in their hand sanitizer, in healthcare, in their own ability to keep germs at bay, in the government to stimulate the economy, etc.
But as followers of Christ, we do not trust in these things ultimately. We trust in God alone. We trust in the name of the Lord our God. He alone gives us victory. He alone provides life and breath.
And so we do not need to run after all the things the world does, in its panic and confused state.
Matthew 6:32 "For the Gentiles (the unsaved world) chase after all these things (clothes, food, stockpiles, etc) and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and all these things will be added to you."
We trust in the name of the Lord our God.
