I have heard different opinions. Some say the next two weeks are going
to be the worst and that we haven’t reached the peak yet to start descending;
and that the economic consequences are going to be devastating. Others say that
this is going to be over soon and that we are going to be fine. In fact I’ve
heard there are more cases cured than deaths. I tend to be in this latter group. I think it
all depends on how the problem has treated us, personally.
My 12 year old grandson heard the news and called his mother saying
“Mom, we are all gonna die. This is all revealed by God in the Bible!” When I
was pleased he gave God the Sovereignty position, I didn’t want him to be
terrified by the way some newscasters have dared to announce their truth.
(Nowadays it seems, in the news, that a dramatic scenario is more important,
and to be a good “novelistic expositor”or R rated) So I called to give him some hope, which is
what many knowledgeable Christian people are doing. There are others, though,
who scare people away with their own fright.
Our God is an Awesome God, like the song says and we know, by the
experiences lived through the Bible there’s always a way out for all those who
have put their trust on Him, the ones who have Hope and know that the Lord
watches over us all the time. And I do
not disprove of the “bad times” predicted in it, but these are not the ones
yet. There are many things that should happen first and one of them is the
rapture of Christ’s church. Do you want to know? Study the Bible, now that we
have much time; and know that those plagues in revelation will not be against
the “righteous.” These things now are happening to make us better, and start
loving one another; and give a much needed rest to our planet. When we all
suffer the people humble themselves and remember God. We must obey the
authorities and take all precautions. Believe in Jesus because He delivered us
from eternal death when He died on the cross in our place. If we do, we’ll feel
invincible knowing God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God,
to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8.28)
Knowing that whoever tried to attack us with this pandemic is a faithful
agent of the Adversary, I wrote a couple of stanzas to be sung with the music
of “He’s got the whole World in His Hand”
They
think they’d put the world upside down; and had the whole wide world on lock
down. They thought they had all people
terrorized and would be trembling in their hands.
But they
ignore the power in our hearts, which is the one we have on Jesus Christ, who
gives us hope and sense when we kneel down; we’ll crush the evil to subside. EN
Our reality is serious but God’s love is greater: We were considered as sheeps to
be slaughtered, but in all these things we overwhelmingly
conquer through Him who loved us. (Romans 8.36b,37)
Things are not getting worse but better. I have seen all kinds of
goodness since all of this started: great food giving programs, medical and all
kinds of help to the needy; people who devote themselves to bring relief and
good news to others with no other gain than the great satisfaction our God
gives; entire communities all over kneeling down on prayers for the world. The
Lord said it through His servant: The Word has gone forth from my mouth in
righteousness and will not turn back, that to Me every knee will bow, every
tongue will swear allegiance. (Isaiah 45.23)
One Friday our Lord was crucified, but three days later people knew they
had won over evil, shouting:
OUR LORD HAS
RISSEN, HALLELUJAH!!!
