S3-34 EXAMINGING OUR ADVERSITY—COVID-19

As the protocols for COVID-19 appear to be ending, after two years of intense restrictions, we ask ourselves what we have learned? What God intended as a judgment on the world is also chastisement for His people. So, let us examine ourselves and our commitment to our heavenly Father. Can we say we are a more separate people (2 Corinthians 6:17) than before the pandemic? Has our devotion to and dependence upon God deepened? The words of the Apostle Paul should now echo in our ears: "Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)
