Christians are IN the world but not OF the world. We face the same perils, plights, and pandemics that the world faces. But we face them differently. While the world flounders, frets and fears, we remain fixed, focused and fearless. As the world looks around with wonder and worry, we look up with worship- In the midst of the pandemic we should be fearless, faithful, and fruitful because we know WHO and WHAT our pandemic protection really is---APPLICATIONS- Our protection which allows us to face the perils and pandemics of life fearlessly, faithfully, and fruitfully is this--1. God knows us and He knows our every need-2. God is with us and will never leave us or forsake us-3. God promises to bring us through the floods and flames of life-4. God is too great to be paralyzed by dangers and difficulties-5. God is too good to be purposeless in dangers and difficulties-6. God's power will preserve us in and through the most extreme dangers
