There is no way to sugarcoat the COVID-19 pandemic that is raging around the world like an invisible firestorm. The truth is we don't know what the future holds, but God is bigger than the coronavirus and has already made a way through the flames.
"When you WALK through the fire you will not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." (Isaiah 43:2b)
When the Bible talks about fire it is referring to personal hardship. This verse gives us a clear picture of how we should react to trials when they confront us. Walking is a sign of confidence, not in ourselves but in the One who created the universe and is in control of every breath we take. Prayer and reading the Bible will fill our minds with the assurance that God has our back. This virus has many of us consumed with fear. The truth of the matter is adversity in its many fierce and fiery forms is inevitable. God did not say if we face the fire He said WHEN we face the fire we are to stay calm. "Unleashing the Power Within" is all about trust. God promises to strengthen us, help us, and uphold us with his own hand. Let go of fear and dread and take God at his word. Believe He is walking alongside of us in this pandemic and will be with us in all the fiery trials we will face now and in the future.
"Don't panic. I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, and keep a firm grip on you." (Isaiah 41:10 MSG)
