All things God works for the good.

February 2021

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

These are challenging times. Political and economic unrest… Natural disasters…Coronavirus Pandemic. It’s not an exaggeration to say many people have struggled with their collective sense of control and purpose over the last year. But, I remind you to bolster your faith by remembering the truths of Christianity.

The only constant we can depend upon is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! God is on His Throne. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His Word and His promises are unfailing—even during times of global and personal crisis.


When Job questioned God about his illness, God never “explained” things. He simply pointed out his Sovereignty over nature (Job 38:8-11). We rest in the assurance that He is in control no matter the world situation.

Like the old song says, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”…more importantly, let’s reflect on Matthew 28:20 “I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.” God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

God uses all things to the Christian’s good. How might something called a “pandemic” be used for good?

Perhaps it make us more mindful of our blessings. Perhaps it forces us to interact more thoughtfully with others. Perhaps it brings us to our knees as we seek God’s good for ourselves and our hurting world.

God is calling us to live this life from an eternal perspective. Romans 8:29 also comes to mind; our greatest good is to be conformed to Christ’s image. There’s nothing like tough times to offer opportunities to act and react more like Jesus. Facing challenges toughens us, builds our character, and makes us consider what purpose God has in mind for us.


I believe these tenuous times call for discipline and commitment to live by God’s truths. By remembering who we are and who God is, we conquer fear with faith. No matter what happens next, I pray God will use this year’s trials to deepen our faith, awaken the lost, and glorify the name of Jesus Christ!

In His love and service,

Pastor Vitali Yuchkovski
