Faithfulness in ministry is always contingent upon God’s providence, not our preferences. We have to die to what we prefer and be faithful to what the Lord provides. As pastors, it isn’t enough for us to resign ourselves to waiting it out until we can gather again. We must eagerly embrace the ministry changes brought on by COVID-19, shepherding our people to see that “God has made everything beautiful in its time” (Eccl 3:11). Though life may be on hold amid this trial, Christian growth is not. Rather, this trial is God’s choice means to produce steadfastness in his people (James 1:2–4).
Calvin said that “ignorance of providence is the ultimate of all miseries; the highest blessedness lies in the knowledge of it.” Ignorance of providence is why COVID-19 is fuel for unabated fear. But the knowledge of it ensures us we are at home because God wants us there (James 4:13–17).   -Matt Johnson  9Marks: Pastoring Amid Pandemic (Part 2): Counsel from a Pastor in Italy
