Dear Lord,
I humble before you,
I mumble in prayer,
For I am in despair,
Looking up for comfort,
Yes,seeking for that is above,
I fly like a dove,
Catch me before I cry,
This demon covid-19,
Is tormenting your people,
I pray for healing,
Your power to flow without ceasing,
We need it God,
May you fulfill this desire,
Burning in my chest like raging fire,
Amen.
God’s Rule of Law
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching,for reproof,for correction ,and for training in righteousness,that the man of God may be complete,equipped for every good work”. All scripture is perfect,no doubt about that thus making it “profitable” in many areas of life.Paul lists four areas :
First,scripture is profitable teaching.It is to be used to instruct people to know God better.
Second,scripture is profitable for reproof or rebuke,the idea of exposing or pointing out sin.
Third,scripture is useful for correction.scripture both points out sin and offers a solution to it.
Fourth,scripture is profitable for training in righteousness.Training is more focused on practical application as compared to teaching.
Thus from scripture we learn what is true,what is wrong,how to correct wrong and how to apply.
The above begs two fundamental questions:
1.What is God’s rule of law?
2.Why is relevant during this time of Corona virus pandemic.
First,God’s rule of law is the bible.Two,in every situation in our life ( good or bad) God has told us and still reminds us to consult Him through His word and prayer;whether for physical or spiritual help.From the above scripture we realize that the God in His and because He is a living God ,His word is also living.We come to the understanding that it is through His word that we get solutions to our day to day challenges.
The Corona virus pandemic has shaken the world by killing thousands and it’s still ready to claim more lives.We are on our weakest moment as a nation and as a globe .Christ reminds us in the book of 1 Peter 4:12-13 to trust in Him and rejoice because He is incharge.When we stop depending on our own strength and place our hope in God,it reduces the buggage on our shoulders and eventually gives us the courage to face our battles and temptations.
CONFIDING IN GOD
Prov 3:5
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart And lean not on your own understanding”
Human understanding is always subject to error.What appears to be the right choice may be the wrong choice.The Lord sees the big picture and He always knows what is best for us.
Abraham could not see how everything would work out for the best when the Lord commanded him to slay his son Isaac on Mount Moriah ( Gen 22:12) but he trusted in the Lord with all his heart.
The Lord did not disappoint Abraham’s wholehearted trust nor will He disappoint us if we trust Him with all our hearts,our understanding may need to catch up with His will and in the end we will see how He is always working for our own good.
The key thing here is to confide in God in prayer regarding every situation in our life be it good or bad.
May God bless you abundantly and strengthen you during this difficult moment.
