Right now there is widespread panic and hysteria over the Covid-19 virus that recently spread from China to most nations of the world.
Thousands have contracted the virus, and thousands have died from it, especially elderly people.
There is tremendous fear in the land, and it is resulting in shelves in supermarkets being bare, and people hoarding food and supplies.
Right now, most people are staying at home, and the government does not want any public gatherings of more than ten people. Schools and businesses are shut down for a few weeks.
In spite of the circumstances, there is no need to panic and fear. God said in His Word to not worry and that He would supply all of our needs (Philippians 4:19).
The Lord says in His Word that He heals all of our diseases (Psalms 103:3). He is Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer (Exodus 15:26). He is also Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider (Genesis 22:14).
We have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
In Psalms 91, we who dwell in the secret place of the Most High are promised protection from plagues and diseases.
This passage says:
Psalms 91
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!
3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,
6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.
11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.
14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness — trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].
15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation. AMP
Another one of God’s Names is Jehovah `Arukah Marpe’, which is “Lord of Health and Cure” (Jeremiah 33:6). The Lord is hearing the prayers of His people, and He will give scientists wisdom for the cure of this virus.
This season won’t last for very long, and a cure will be discovered.
Be encouraged. God has everything in control. Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
