Lockdown 166

Lockdown Day 166 - 8 September 2020

Today someone said it is only 4 months to 2021. Less than the time we have been in Lockdown. This, amidst the rumours of an eminent level 1 to be announced in a few weeks. Nobody knows what's next but everybody has at least started to hope. 

I keep wondering about the future and how we are going to survive masks in summer. Also, I thought this virus cannot survive high temperatures, but obviously it has mutated into a very clever organism. 

Furthermore I gathered that a screen alone is not legal when I was not allowed to enter a shop without a cloth mask. Watching people when we were traveling was interesting. It caused me to ask the question: how can a cloth mask be safer than a screen? 

Most people with a screen don't touch the outside of the screen. Most people with a cloth mask fidget with it constantly . 

And so many of them do not sanitize when they have touched the outside of the mask, thus when they touch anything in a shop they can potentially spread the virus. 

Also, the cloth mask does not stop movement of droplets both ways. However, a screen does. If someone would sneeze onto a cloth mask and a screen, who would be at risk more? 

Questions aside, one answer remains: God is in control. And if we constantly submit ourselves to His will, He will look after us no matter what happens. He is the only One knows exactly what lies ahead. Trusting Him brings peace of mind. 

In the words of Matthew 6:33-34, "“So above all, constantly chase after the realm of God’s kingdom and the righteousness that proceeds from Him. Then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.  Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself." Enjoy the following song with me and smile! Ggt.
