People all over are preparing for the coronavirus. How should we prepare for the coronavirus? If you were to contract the coronavirus and die, would you be prepared to meet your maker? Should we prepare physically for the coronavirus? Should we prepare to turn back to God both individually and nationally? Should we prepare to trust God? Today, we examine these questions and look to the Bible for answers.
