SOLACE AGAINST CORONA THREAT: WHEN WE SEE GOD HAS ABANDONED US

SOLACE AGAINST CORONA THREAT: WHEN WE SEE GOD HAS ABONDENED US

JOB 42: 3.

You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’
 Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

Our minds and imaginations may plunge into the gloom and the fear that robs us of hope, when we see the great and powerful nations that can do anything in research and decision-making that can wreak havoc in life; strange has been the opposite when we find they are confused and lose more focus.

What is the top-secret behind this?

Inch limits are closed! Businesses are closed! Institutions and offices are closed! Places of worship and gathering are closed (churches are closed)! People should not touch each other!

What is the Great Tribulation?

We do not know what the meaning of this is probably Matt 24: 3-28. Explains the Lord Jesus perfectly explains when His disciples asked Him what the sign of things would be and when.

1Corinthians 7:29 Paul tells the Corinthians that the time is near and near, 2 Cor Paul tells the Corinthians by pointing to them for a while!

Matt 24:25; Jesus shows that He has already warned us of things ahead.

Is it Have we sinned and God allows us to be punished?

God allowed punishment for His people when they turned from His path and struck them with locusts, Pestilence and famine.

Eccr 7:14 he told them that "If My People, Named In My Name, Will Humble, and Pray, and Seek Their Face, And Turn from Their Wicked Things;

Is it time for God to boast of His greatness?

The Lord promised Abram and told him that he would not destroy the land where the righteous were, but it came when he destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah 18:18 ff.

But we see that Job is honored that he is righteous and allows the temptation to Job for a righteous person, when the time comes for God to reveal Himself.

Here we are looking for the faithful of the Faith; today the love of God is confined to the people of God when it comes to even gathering to worship, shake hands, etc. Who will show the love of God when God has shown us that EBR. 10:38 But my righteous one shall live by faith; and if he hesitates, my soul is not happy with him.

Is it is our ignorance of verdicts notices that have brought us here?

There have been various disparagements and criticisms to the government: rulers of the big nations commending that is due economic espionage and competitions, others is political conflicts etc. that have fueled theories of hostility to big nations. These theories may justify our ignorance and our privileges. But I don't go too far on this.

Where is Our Hope

Today we have been throwing our blame on the government and our leaders. But we can also ask ourselves such questions as how the great powers of science and research have failed to control this problem. Today we poor people are seeing the condition of the infection as tolerable. Although the greatest fear is the reaction and reception of information to emotions that affect our perception.

Our Hope is to Trust in God

He who could allow this is the one who knows His Conclusion. Leaders of the nations, heads of churches have come to the end of their knowledge! Now it is starting to look at God. Back to worldly advice don’t stick! Let's not get hug! Don't hug or hug each other! Where is the fellowship? We have lost it.

We need to repent

We have the opportunity to repent and cry to God who has remained and sustainer of our hope and our strength and no one else. Silent and wait for him, holding on to faith and hope and not our hearts bowing but to be humbled as we wait for the Lord.

Isaiah 40:31

But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles; they shall flee away weary; they will walk without letup.
