Encouraging Thoughts and Biblical Counsel For These Unusual Days
God has all knowledge and all authority...
God has all knowledge and all authority over the natural and supernatural forces of this world. He knows exactly where COVID-19 coronavirus started, and where it’s going next. Neither sin, nor Satan, nor sickness, nor sabotage is stronger than Jesus. While bad things happen in a fallen world our God is at work and can bring hope in the midst of the darkness.
The question is not whether Jesus is sovereign over all things. He is. The question is, with our Bibles open, how are we to understand crises like COVID-19? How can we make sense of difficult times?
“The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations” (Psalm 33:11)
Here are a few of our resources that you may find helpful and encouraging:
