A friend recently shared the following from Corrie ten Boom. What she had to say about worry and God’s provision is wonderfully applicable today, especially with the fears over the coronavirus.

Few Christian books have sold as well and been shared as widely as Sarah Young’s devotional Jesus Calling. Given the widespread influence of her books, which is only growing, it seemed time to address some concerns directly on my own blog. 

We know from Jesus’ statement to the thief that when one dies they enter the presence of God immediately. Luke 23:42 states, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” This statement also tells us that Jesus went to His Father upon death.  

Don’t let the Coronavirus or anything else distract you from the promises of God, or rob you of living the life God has given you. Live for Jesus in the midst of this, and you may come out on the other side, as we do so many of the trials of our lives, saying, “God, you taught me more and drew me closer to you through this crisis than any other time of my life.”
