Hagar was a slave from Egypt in the home of Abraham, and she was cast from his home into the desert by her mistress Sarah, when she became pregnant with Abraham’s child.   However, her pregnancy was not of her will, and God intervened. He sent an angel to comfort Hagar and to promise her that God would care for her and her children.   Hagar makes a statement that is monumental, particularly given the historical context.   Genesis 16:13 - She

We live in a complex, confusing and often frightening world, changing so rapidly that even a map quickly becomes out of date. But the direction in which the needle of a magnetic compass points change very little, and without a compass to provide direction navigators are unable to find their way.

The book of Esther is the only book in the Bible which does not mention God by name. Though God is not mentioned by name in the entire book, he sovereignly and mercefully preserves his people in the midst of their adversity by their enemies. This shows us that the "hiddenness" of God is not the absence of God. In our current adversity by Covid-19, God is still sovereign and will mercefully preserve His people. Even when God appears "most hidden",

God’s perspective & warning: Isaiah 8:19 (AMP) When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “Consult the mediums [who try to talk to the dead] and the soothsayers who chirp and whisper and mutter,” should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? Deuteronomy 18:9-14 9 (AMP) 9 “When you enter the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable
