Preliminary Thoughts: Seeing and Pointingmy aim here is to point to reality, not create reality. My aimis to hear what God has said, and affirm rather than imagine.I will point to what the Bible teaches and then makethe connections with the coronavirus. Yours is to judgewhat is right.I say that because it’s what Jesus said about “interpretingthe present time.” He was indignant that people coulduse their reason to make sense out of weather patterns butnot the divine working of God in history:You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearanceof earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpretthe present time? And why do you not judge for yourselveswhat is right? (Luke 12:56–57)So my hope is that you will ask for God’s help, look toGod’s word, and judge for yourselves what is right. I hopeyou will test what I say by the Scriptures (1 John 4:1), andhold fast to what is good (1 Thess. 5:21).SIX PATHS TO FOLLOWMany pages could be written about each of the six answersI am going to give to the question, What is God doing59
What Is God Doing through the Coronavirus?through the coronavirus? But with the urgency of the hour, Iwon’t take time for that. I will only point to paths of biblicaltruth that I hope you will pursue after you close this book.I wish we could walk far down those paths together. But Imust leave that with you. May God guide you.What is God doing through the coronavirus?60
