One result of the covid pandemic will be just this, that when a man faces things he knows, despair is inevitable unless there is room for God to perform His almighty acts.
This line of things may sound foreign to us because we do not think, we are too contented with what we are; we have not been desperately hit.
Misery is an exquisite degree of torture from which there seems no relief; it is very rare. Job suffered in this way, and many people are doing so today on account of the covid bioweapon war.
That is why the book of Job is included in the Bible. His words are not the expression of ordinary misery and melancholy, they are the expression of a man face to face with the foundation of human life, which is tragic.
The pandemic bioweapon war has proved that the basis of things is what Job discovered it to be—tragic, and men are being driven to realize the need for the redemption. Facing things as they are will reveal the justification of God in the redemption.
No amount of sacrifice on the part of man can put the basis of human life right: God has undertaken the responsibility for this, and He does it on redemptive lines.
When we have come to the place of seeing Jesus Christ, then He can trust us with the facing of sin.
