The world rebels more and more, yet God is achieving his mission of uniting all things under Christ. Our part is to reach the whole earth with his message by doing the good works he has prepared for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). Scripture repeatedly describes God’s sovereign plan to restore and reconcile all of creation back to himself (Ephesians 1:9-10)—and he WILL achieve it. So when the world rebels, he’s not worried or scared; instead, he laughs (Psalm 2:1-6) because he knows that in the end, his own good plan will prevail. And we are to help him carry it out. We must not be distracted by COVID, or politics, or the loss of freedoms that is surely coming. Instead, we must join him in the high calling of carrying his love and service to the ends of the earth.
