Six Constants During a Crisis
1] God is with us and for us

and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you. [ESV]
2] This too shall pass
1 Peter 4:12
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. [ESV]
3] Respond with joy and hope
James 1:2
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, [ESV]
4] Keep growing
James 1:4
And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. [ESV]
5] This is not the end
2 Corinthians 4:8
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; [ESV]
6] Remain focused on our Constant One
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. [ESV]
