In the face of a perceived threat from a Coronavirus, people's across the world willingly gave up fundamental rights in exchange for perceived security. What did I learn?

1. Your rights are temporary. Other people will enthusiastically remove those rights in exchange for their perceived security.

2. A constitution won't help you.

3. The police and armed forces do not serve you - they will trample on your face from the back of a horse, or chase you across an empty beech to ensure compliance.

4. Do not store up for yourself treasures on Earth where moth and rust corrupt and thrives break in and steel. My hope cannot be taken from me. My King is in heaven, and He still has a plan for this world better than we can conceive.

5. Everything we own on Earth can be taken by the government. It's depressing, but it's better to accept it and plan accordingly.

6. Every emergency will be used by the government to cement its power.

7. Take joy in EVERY good thing God gives you. Seize the day. Life is rich, His word never returns void, but is always fruitful.

GOD BLESS YOU, AND CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU.
