I haven't gotten the jab, but I won't condemn those who have.
I've gotten enough shots in my life, from being in the military, and working for the state government that I'd do well to be considered a pin cushion.
There are still a lot of questions concerning the shot & boosters. My best take from this is that taking the shot you can still get the virus, but that the symptoms won't affect you as much.
Which means if you get the shot, it doesn't mean that you won't catch it. Nor does it mean that if you catch it that you won't pass it on to others.
There's a fear that tries to take over, but I won't let it, because my trust/faith in God is there to combat it. Then again, I won't challenge Him on this either. Like knowing someone is sick and getting in their face and increasing the contact chances. Because then you're just asking for it. When I interact with people, I do it the same as before this virus hit. I'll not assume anything and continue to show the love of the Lord regardless of if they've had the shot or not. Meaning I don't ask.
God is in control! I tell people that if God wants you, there is nothing that man does that will prevent you from going home, and the reverse is also true!
I prefer the Shadrack, Meshack, & Abendego method, acknowledging that God can save you, but if He does not, I'm still going to praise & worship Him and trust that He knows what He's doing!
So, take all the information that you can get to try to make an educated decision, but ultimately you need to trust the Holy Spirit within you to help with the decision making!!! This also means that no one should be forced to take it either!!
Don't let this virus, or anything else this World tosses at you and yours prevent you from rejoicing in the Lord!!! Paul meant it so much, that he said it twice!
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
