Perhaps the thing I find most exquisitely satisfying about COVID-19 is the way it disrupts the plans of tyrants and autocrats worldwide. I think if I were dying from it myself, I would still hold onto this thought. God is in control and he succeeded where human opposition and protests appeared to be thwarted by those tyrants. It's the same satisfaction one gets from reading about Pharaoh getting his comeuppance. If you look at it the right way, COVID-19 is a blessing, though ...a terrible and awe-inspiring one, and a state of affairs that we didn't have to come to.
"Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me. For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, and on your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth. For by now I could have put out my hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth. But for this purpose I have raised you up, to show you my power, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth. You are still exalting yourself against my people and will not let them go.'" (Exodus 9:13-17).
