I've started a list on my phone of good things that could come from the coronavirus situation.
It's been a fun, encouraging exercise.
And biblical too, since the Bible tells us to set our minds on things that are 'good' (Phil.4:8).
Early this morning I thought of a new item for my list of possible positive outcomes:
That people would quit looking to government as god and turn to the true God instead.
America's effort to build a society by putting God in the closet and government on the throne has only intensified in recent years.
But the state doesn't make a very good god.
And our current situation reveals how limited the civil government is in its ability to provide and protect, all while maintaining our liberty to function and thrive as humans.
Only the true God has the knowledge, wisdom and power to do that.
And hopefully in this time of testing He will open many hearts to the truth that He alone is Almighty... and many will turn to Him.
That would be good.
Let's pray it happens.
'Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other' (Is.45:22).
