I wrote this little article years ago, but it does seem to apply to how we handle Covid [and scandels]... https://www.free-bible-study-lessons.com/war-horse.html

Matt:19:30 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. God looks at things differently than we do. We see what is outside. We see accomplishments. God looks at the heart. He sees obedience. Many a humble, unknown Christian will, to their surprise, find that they are first in the kingdom of God. And the opposite is also true, some who, in pride, think they are going to be first because of all the great things they have done are going to find themselves last. Obedience is the key. Are we doing what God has asked us to do no matter whether it leads to glory or despair in this life? Don't judge by appearance but judge with righteous judgment.

Matt:19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Jesus is to be number one. For some, following Jesus literally means forsaking all property and family. Some are cast out by their loved ones when they choose to follow Jesus. However, all of us are to have Jesus as our priority over family and property. This doe...s not mean we can abandon our responsibilities, no, we live up to our responsibilities in a greater way than we ever could before. And, of course, we enter the family of God. All Christians are now are brothers and sisters and in the end we will enjoy eternity with Jesus and our new family.

Matt:19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Interestingly Jesus did not correct Peter's idea of earthy glory. Instead He raised his eyes to the ultimate end. There was a reward coming. There was power and authority coming. It was just not was Peter currently imagined it to be.... There was a proper timing. Reward never comes without hard work and sacrifice. It's not wrong to have a vision of the future reward, but the reward is not something to struggle and fight for. We follow Jesus and trust that He will do what is right at the correct time.
