What Is God Saying in the Middle of COVID-19?

Like all of you I’ve been watching the news and have heard so much about the COVID-19 virus. I know more about this virus than I ever wanted to. I know it’s symptoms, it’s source and all the conspiracy theories surrounding it. It’s been a wild couple weeks and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. It’s in the chaotic times that we need to pause the news, pause social media and listen to what God is saying. 

As I was in prayer yesterday I heard God’s voice and it brought such comfort and peace to my heart. I shared it with our church staff and I wanted to share it with you as well. I heard the Lord say, 

“Is it only in seasons of abundance that I’m a provider? Is it only in seasons of calm that I’m the Prince of Peace? Is it only in seasons of ease that I am Lord? No. In every way and in every season I am God. Fear not. For in this my word will still prove true. In this I can still be trusted.” 

This virus hasn’t caught God off guard. He’s not shocked nor surprised. It’s in these times we need to turn to Him and know that we can trust Him. Here’s why… His word is no less true in tough times than it is in easy times. 

Let me leave you these words from Jesus…  “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
