As the author of this American Thinker article suggests, we may be headed toward a police state in our country (read the last paragraph). The following is a quote from the article:"When societies lose their freedom, it is not ordinarily because autocrats or tyrants have forcibly taken it away. It is usually the result of the population willingly surrendering their freedom in return for protection against an external threat. While the threat is oftentimes real, it is invariably exaggerated."
Folks, the above scenario is exactly what the population of the United States is presently experiencing with the coronavirus (see AT article).
Quoting again from the above article: "In times like these, it is to be expected that the citizenry will look to the government for guidance and assistance. When that happens in an environment of mass hysteria, then it is unsurprising that the state will take on or assume new power, as that is what has been demanded of it. This historically has been the process which leads to the rise of authoritarianism."
Beloved, instead of looking to the government for guidance and assistance, we should be looking to Almighty God for divine guidance and assistance (see here). Every citizen of this great nation should utter this prayer, substituting the word "Kansas" with the words "United States of America" and mean it.
