WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE HERE?
"Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go." {Joh 21:18} This verse from The Gospel according to John rings true especially during this Corona Virus battle that has come upon the world.
When you realize how huge this pestilence is it will not be hard to focus on WHO is actually capable of making a difference; For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, (6) who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. { 1Ti 2:5-6} Your strong faith in God will carry you through. "Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. { Isa 45:22}
The doors here are closed for a short period of time. The closing is an expression of love, respect and protection for the residents of these unique communities. As inconvenient as it might be for those living inside and those who wait elsewhere, it gives all of us some breathing room to figure out how this bug works and design a weapon to defeat it. As Americans, we are very good at defending and being creative in that defense. When trouble comes, God gives us what we need to come together and witness the power of the Lord fighting with us and for us. Those of you coming out of WWII, Korea and Vietnam all understand that sometimes we need to be shaken a bit before the creative juices that God gives begins to join the battle.
Once, we were all lost and blind; But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. { Eph 2:13,Heb 7:25}
Pray with each other, pray FOR each other and for those who are here serving with you on this battle against the BUG!
FATHER, Author of all protective cures, fill each of us with Your Spirit of patience, courage, and help us increase our FAITH and TRUST that Your will be done, and Your children shall come through this pestilence, this unseen foe. Grant us a large helping of LOVE and EMPATHY for others who are in the same boat as we are. In and by the name of JESUS we pray, AMEN.
