Over the last four months, all the news cast, media outlets and general conversation or everyone has been the effects and concerns of the Coronavirus Crisis.  Nations around the world are fighting to save lives and come up with ways to stop the spread of this most recent outbreak.  Now fast forward and now the U.S. has taken the lead in deaths due to contracting the Coronavirus and just today, 3/31/20 President Trump announces and national quarantine for 14 days.  Earlier this afternoon, the Mississippi Governor announced a shutdown for my own local area of Lauderdale County and Meridian, MS.  That is when you have to decide to get your faith shields up and prepare to use your Faith.  Although we don't want to sound dismissive, the church has to continue to Pray and remain strong.  As a Pastor, its difficult to help people stay encouraged when the actual crisis suspends the church Worship service right along side of other meetings.  Some essential jobs are not asked to close, but some jobs don't want to close because of the financial loss.  But this Pandemic is real, and nothing has ever stopped Sports, Wall Street, Nations, Major Events, Church and all types of gathering we have taken for granted for nearly 100 years.  That's enough precedence to most to know this is serious, but my God is still bigger than this.  I encourage you to Pray daily, read the Word of God daily, Worship God daily and if possible Witness to someone daily and God's going to get us through this.  Get your Faith up!  Your Faith is God will get you through this.   God Bless  Pastor Randy Young
