Perhaps the Lord is shutting down all our pleasures and distractions and playthings to give us time to think about where we will go when we pass from this life.
Perhaps the Lord wants us to stop the foolishness and focus on Him right before He comes and takes out His church in the rapture.
We have not lost anything in this lockdown, we can gain perspective about what is really important. Our eternal soul is far more important than all the happy pleasurable things we thought we wanted.
One day the born-again believers are going to be in the most wonderful and beautiful place possible, the home Christ made for us, a paradise that cannot be described in human terms.
Everything Christ has done and will do for mankind has already been done and is waiting for those who will believe in Him.
There is no one more thankful no matter what happens than a born again believer who is focused on their eternal existence with Christ. Nothing could ever compare to that, this search offers nothing in the way of hope and blessing.
All the things we held onto that we thought would bring us happiness will burn up one day. We enjoy them and thank God for them but we do not place our trust in them or our own value according to them.
Proverbs 3:4-6 "…4Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man. 5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;6in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
2 Corinthians 12:3-4
"And I know how such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows— was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak."
No one can imagine the paradise God has prepared for us when we leave this earth when we have been born again. All that God did and will do for us was for our safety and our best. Hallelujah!!!
