Is Satan Using Covid to Destroy Your Relationship in your life? Did Satan use Covid to bring out the true and hidden evil in people?

 

Satan is a master at destroying relationships, marriages, and families. The Bible is filled with examples of how Satan attempted to destroy relationships through deception, temptation, and other destructive means. Even in the church, Satan seeks to divide and attack the unity of believers. I believe that Satan has used elected leaders to divide America. In Revelation 12:9, Satan is described as "the accuser of our brothers" and "the adversary." These are just two ways of saying he's a liar who wants to trick us into mistrusting each other so we can't trust one another or God. It sounds rather complex, but it comes down to something that is not only very simple but obvious as well; so many people are afraid of trusting others because they don't want anyone to know what they're doing or who they are on the inside. Many are so scared to have faith over fear. We need to trust in the word of God. We need God and Jesus now more than ever.

 

What is Covid?

COVID-19, or coronavirus disease 2019, is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The effect of the illness can range from mild to severe. First identified in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, the virus quickly spread to other countries. On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Why would God allow Covid-19?" The world seems to be asking this question, which gives the most significant part of the answer. More on that shortly.

 

Why Are People Afraid of Trusting Others?

Trust is the foundation of a successful relationship. It's essential in friendships, marriages, and even our relationship with God. But many people are afraid to trust others.

All relationships have some level of risk. Whether at work, home, or church, you are putting yourself in a position of being open to hurt. You may be rejected, criticized, or even ignored. But if you let these fears control you, neither you nor your relationships can ever be as strong as they could be. They are so worried about being let down or hurt that they don't allow themselves to be vulnerable or open enough to develop authentic and lasting relationships. Satan's favorite way to keep people from trusting each other is to sow seeds of doubt. He knows that if he can get someone to question another person's motives, he'll cause a rift in their relationship. He'll keep them from ever being close enough to one another to be vulnerable.

 

On the topic of trusting others, King David said, "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes" (Psalm 118:8–9). David spoke from experience, having been betrayed many times by those close to him (see Psalm 41:9). Instead of becoming bitter or regarding all people as inherently untrustworthy and not worth his time, he learned and taught a simple truth: sinful people will fail us, but we can always trust in God. David's son, King Solomon, knew that lesson well and added to it, saying that it's better to trust God than to trust our own minds (Proverbs 3:5–6).

 

Satan's Strategy to Destroy Relationships

Satan's strategy to destroy relationships is to get people to mistrust one another. He knows that if he can get someone to question another person's motives, he has stopped that relationship from ever being close enough to be vulnerable. He's blocked it from growing stronger and becoming even more potent for good. Even though others will fail us sometimes, and we are not always trustworthy, we can and should still trust people to vary degrees. Without Trust, a genuine relationship is impossible. It is precisely because we know that God will never fail us and that we can trust others. Our ultimate security is in Him, so we are free to trust others and experience the joy it brings. Trusting others is almost inseparable from loving ot
