Analyzing God's Blessings (???) During This Crisis!!!

On February 26th, I tightened my emotional belt, and made some claims of "possible conclusions" about whether this pandemic was God's way of answering our prayers, or not!   It takes some spiritual gaul to try and claim that God's blessings can come out of what appears to be a momentous tragedy!!!

Yet, throughout history (which is, after all, "His story"), great blessings have arisen out of the ashes of terrible tragedies!!!    America arose out of seemingly suicidal foolishness in challenging the greatest military in the world, by a bunch of farmers carrying clubs and pitchforks, to become an independent nation, after the Revolutionary War!   And, we rose to the pinnacle of international power, after two World Wars, defeating some of the most evil forces the world has ever seen!!! 

While it seemed that no external  force could defeat us, our biggest threat may have been the internal divisiveness that recently took hold of our political spectrum!!!   Jesus' statement that, "A house divided can not stand.", which applies  even more so to a nation that is divided, seemed to be facing our nation ominously! 

Yet we have seen some uncharacteristic compromising in our divisive branches of government, lately, giving some small hope that we can, indeed, learn to cooperate to reach a mutual goal, in overcoming this crisis!!!   Congress recently passed an emergency relief bill for those businesses hardest hit by the economic slowdown, caused by the necessary avoidance of crowded attendance!  If the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives can actually agree on anything that the Republican-controlled Senate can pass, then there is a small measure of hope for the future functioning of the Congress, as a whole!!!  It took an international emergency of epic proportions to bring it about, but perhaps it will make compromise on less drastic measures easier to accomplish, in the future!!!

So, God does seem to bring good out of terrible tragedy, which the Communists of this world misinterpret as, "good always coming out of evil", which they use to excuse their allowing evil to flourish, as in the obvious danger of their movement to promote international migration anywhere, with no restrictions at all!!!    The spread of this pandemic should help even the most dogmatic of Socialists recognize the foolishness of this view!!!
