The news throws a spotlight on one truth: the world is irrational. Nothing follows any logic, nor is there any reason or judgement applied to crazy decisions made that affect millions and billions of people.
In Romans, Paul expounded on the perfect solution to this dilemma:
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Romans 12:2
Rather than buying into the insanity of the world, be transformed by God and know what His will is for you. The world will still be irrational, but your life — guided by God — now has a direction and purpose. It feels good to have God giving the orders! You’ll still have to follow the rules imposed by politicians and bureaucrats, but you know that your response is guided by a higher power!
