What Is God Saying?

No matter where you are in the world, the coronavirus has affected you.  You have probably been told to stay home to stop the spread of this virus.  For our generation, this is unusual. I usually am at work during the day teaching my class in English Language Arts. Now, we are working remotely because of the threat.  I can tell that my students want more interactions.  All of my students don't have access to technology.  Some are strictly working from their cellphones. 

Many of us wonder what the future holds.  Is this going to be business as usual as we move forward?  Will we have to pause our lives every time a virus shows up? I don't know.  Now is a good time to become a Christian.  Even if you are not a Christian, admit that something strange is going on.  One well-known atheist has gotten on television and talked about how he is not a Christian and not afraid of going to hell.  Please don't tempt the Lord thy God (Matthew 4:7). I would challenge you to investigate faith.  If you are not a Christian, try your god to see if it shows up. Once you don't get a response, try Jesus.

I believe that God is trying to speak to us.  Many times when I have felt most connected to God, I was alone.  A lot of us are away from day to day work.  We can get closer to God.  We don't have to have the television on 24-7 or have radio and movies on. Sometimes, we can just pray and ask God to speak to us.  What are we supposed to learn out of what's happening, or is God preparing us for future calamities?
