What's the plan?

 

There was an article in the Dayton Daily News that supports my "theory" about there being so many more deaths in the past year than in previous years. It turns out, 2020 was the deadliest year in at least the past 25 years for diseases other than Covid, although, they think it's possible that circumstances of the pandemic may have indirectly led to more deaths. You can read the article here for more information.
     So, I wondered what this means as far as the Church? Is God calling more of His children home because it's the start of the end? Is He trying to get our attention and remind us of our purpose here? I don't know. We can't know. But, what we do know is what the Bible tells us...(paraphrasing here)
     - We're to be ready
     - We're to be sharing the Good News
     - We're to be praying and in the word
     - God is sovereign over all things, so we don't need to worry or be anxious because He's in control and everything happens according to His plan.

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

1 Thessalonians 4:13 ESV

Please join me this week in praying for those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. May they find comfort in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and may they rest in God's sovereignty over all things.

I'll post daily reminders on:
