Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.”
Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
John 14:3 “And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
I Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
A large part of the public policy conflict surrounding COVID-19 is a differing philosophy on the purpose and priority of government in a crisis Many strongly contend that the situation warrants extreme short-term focus, and that public health is to be the dominating priority of government in these times. Others contend for a broader focus, and that the priority of government should always be the long-term overall well-being of its citizens, including immediate and enduring public health, mental health, social health, economic health, employment health, legal health, and educational health. These considerations pit factions at all levels against one another.
While government will never get it perfectly right, God always does! He has laid out a plan and a priority, in accordance with His purpose, that seeks our eternal overall well-being while offering us joy and fulfillment in the short, medium and long terms. He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think. He stands ready to answer us and show us great and mighty things which we knoweth not. He has prepared a glorious place for us with Him for all of eternity. We can’t even see, hear, dream, or imagine the glorious things that He has in store for us.
PLEASE PRAY FOR PEACE IN GOD’S PERFECT PLAN FOR OUR ETERNAL WELL-BEING AND FOR A DETERMINATION TO SHARE IT WITH A CONFLICTED WORLD. It is easy to get dismayed by the erratic tug-of-war of our earthly authorities. Fortunately, our ultimate authority has the perfect plan, the perfect purpose, and the perfect priority as a part of His overwhelming love for us.
