To say that there are many people hoping for a vaccine for the Coronavirus would be the understatement of 2020. Even though the first use was authorized last weekend, it will be some time before the positives and negatives associated with this potentially life-changing injection will be revealed. In the meantime, many vulnerable individuals and their loved ones wait, holding on to the promise from the government that one day they may be immunized against this deadly threat. God has too made us promises that we can hope in. Unlike the human government, we can count on the promises of God because He is completely trustworthy.
