COVID-19 and God's Children: Psalm 91

Description

The image here in the middle of the Psalm is one of a general calamity, like this COVID-19 event. A myriad of people are dropping dead (the word translated “ten thousand” here doesn’t literally mean “ten thousand” – it just means a whole bunch; a myriad; an abundance). We’re promised that because God is our refuge and our habitation, it won’t come near us. We’re promised that we’ll be spectators in the matter, watching the wicked receive their reward. This might cause some of us some distress, because it seems black and white – it clearly says, “it shall not come nigh thee” and “neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.” What are we to make of this? Here are a few thoughts I have about it:
