There is a much worse pandemic occurring now than the virus we are experiencing that causes physical illness.
That pandemic is one that is attacking the emotional and spiritual part of our being. It has always been around but is growing worldwide exponentially, that is the intensely selfish side of humanity.
The devil is working wildly to destroy as many families and relationships as possible. He has infiltrated the church gatherings to cause division based on politics and the virus. He is causing hurt feelings when there need not be any hurt feelings at all.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "Difficult Times Will Come
1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."
When this is the predominant mentality of the culture as a whole we know these are the end times that are not going to improve. God said it would be this way we must accept it.
However, we need not allow the world to affect our walk with Christ and the fruit of the Spirit that lives in us.
Our challenge is to depend daily on the Holy Spirit to guide us causing us to act Christlike no matter how anyone else is acting.
Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Romans 12:21 "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
When we see an emotionally abusive person we will know that they are dominated by the devils, we need not hate them, but we must give them the gospel and remove ourselves if they do not listen.
