Coronavirus. What is an effective way?
In addition to research in laboratories and the search for sanitary and social methods, there is … a providential aspect.
Can we ignore it?
Do we personally know the whole truth? Is it possible that in this part, which we do not know, is hidden something that is the key solution? The evidence supporting the providential aspect is huge. We just need to sublime it and test its credibility.
Here are four statements by various authors, preserved in the Bible, among many others on a topic of interest to us: *
(5) The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws… (6) Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left. (Book of Isaiah 24)
(30) …have done that which is evil … (34) Then I will make to cease from the cities … the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a ruin. (Book of Jeremiah 7)
(19) …They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water with horror, because their land will be stripped of its fullness on account of the violence of all who live in it. (20) The inhabited cities will be laid waste and the land will be a desolation (Book of Ezekiel 12)
(13) The earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants, on account of the fruit of their deeds. (Book of Micah 7)
Can we skip this?
The conclusion that I propose to draw is also formulated in the Bible. Let it be Psalm 127:
(1) Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. (Psalm 127)
An attitude of dependence on God is needed.
Why is an attitude of dependence necessary? Because human nature has a tendency to go beyond the system and thus to self-destruction. The cure is to return to an attitude of dependence.
That is why I suggest promoting this attitude of dependence on God’s providence.
I propose that we devote ourselves to propagating this attitude, inspire others with it, develop all leadership skills that are in us even in the smallest amount, that we would raise these abilities to the highest possible level, to grow as a society in this attitude.
So I’ll start with myself: “We are totally dependent on You, God!”
Can we neglect this?
