The Coronavirus outbreak is escalating the instability which prophetically defines our time. This advancing pandemic is tipping us into world-wide panic, causing stock market volatility and an unpredictable economic future. The Coronavirus can now be added to the list of many frightening events happening in the world today — “Men's hearts are failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth...” Luke 21:26
Yes, fear about our personal well-being and the safety of our loved ones is challenging the faith of many. And anxiety is ever increasing because frightening news events are now transmitted worldwide as soon as they happen. Such vivid displays strongly touch our hearts, and cause many to be confused — asking the question, “Why God, Why?” Predictably, one of the most searched Bible texts on the Internet is Joshua 1:9 — “...Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed...”
God understands when we cry out for answers, and He allows every experience, even that which shakes our faith, as an opportunity to learn and to grow a deeper, more abiding faith. “Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.” — Mark 9:24
The very first step in the progress of our faith is to know that we are living in the time of the end when world-wide trouble was prophesied to happen. (Daniel 12:1-4) Just knowing that these things were prophesied should give us a solid foundation from which to build. God is working out His plan, and the end is promised to be glorious! “I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come.... and I will fill this house with glory... in this place will I give peace.” Haggai 2:7, 9
The necessary next step in building faith is to learn the truth of God's plans and purposes, so as to understand why these tragedies are permitted. The following links will help provide the foundation for an abiding faith in God's plans and how to develop peace in our hearts:
