If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:5

I’m sure we have all noticed that there is no shortage of confusing and conflicting information bombarding us regarding COVID, masks, vaccines, etc. What are we do make of all of this? Here are four suggestions:

We do not know facts--only opinions coming from vastly differing voices that not only contradict each other, but routinely flip-flop on the issues being discussed. Therefore, we simply do not know anything for sure. All we can do is believe those we tend to agree with—knowing that they, and we, could well be wrong.
We must beware of those who are overly passionate [or angry, or who vilify those who say something different]. The angrier and/or political one's argument is, the less I tend to trust them or take them seriously.
We must do what our consciences dictate.
We must do so humbly (because we do not know anything for sure and our opinions are subject to change.)
We must do so graciously (giving others the same freedom that we want others to afford us, to follow their consciences, even if wrong.)
We must do so quietly (saying less and resisting the urge to correct everyone we may disagree with, because we probably do not know as much as we may think we do.)
As Christians, we are told to pray asking God for wisdom (James 1:5)—which includes admitting we need it!
