This 1:26 min video considers whether theology has anything practical to say, especially facing a global health crisis?

The Coronavirus is marching across the globe like a conquering invader creating an epidemic of anxiety, despair, and hopelessness.

Does biblical theology offer us anything practical in the face of such an enemy?

The book of Psalms tells us God is Sovereign: “The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all” (Psalm 103:19).

This means God is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent.

He is not a distant, unengaged deity but is both the transcendent Almighty God of the Universe and our immanent Heavenly Father.

God is powerful, personal, and practical.

“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases…

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him” (Psalm 103:1-3, 13).

God is with you in all things.
