Fear not, nor be afraid [in the coming violent upheavals]; have I not told it to you from of old and declared it? And you are My witnesses! Is there a God besides Me? There is no [other] Rock; I know not any. - Isaiah 44:8, AMPC

First, Jesus Christ, the Revelation of God's goodness, is our Rock upon Whom we can totally rest and totally trust. He will never change nor lie. Hallelujah!

No matter what we face--virus or scam or any other demonic force--far greater is Jesus the Conquerer for us, in us, and through us, amen! 

Jesus is our Rock, our Fortress, our mighty God! There is no one and nothing we can depend on truly at all times, but Him!

Psalm 46:1-6 (AMPC) speak more of His faithful strength and protection of us: 1 God is our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore  will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, 3 Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early [at the dawn of the morning].

So no matter what happens, when the dust clears, God will still be there, for us and with us! 

The Word of God, the Bible, calls us "living stones": 

[Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. I Peter 2:5, AMPC

So, as I was thinking of these things, I realized that Jesus will always work with us to make us more like Himself; that is His ultimate goal! As He does--and He corrects us with His Word, not trials nor tribulations!--He is the One Who polishes us, His living stones.

He is the Precision Master-- the utlimate Rock Polisher!
