Especially for the sake of those who are not "church people," this series of scriptures is a reminder that God is not the author of fear or confusion and does not sow panic. Throughout the Bible, we have been given instruction to have courage and not be afraid. In a time of crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic, we should look to God and His Word, and He will give us peace and clarity. We can then be pillars for others and strengthen their faith with these scriptures. VF-2228
