Psalm 90:13-17
13. Return, O Lord! How long? And have compassion on Your servants. 14. Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! 15. Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, The years in which we have seen evil. 16. Let Your work appear to Your servants, And Your glory to their children. 17. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.
The daily reports of the health situations of the pandemic virus all over the world is very frightening and alarming. With claims here and there about finding a solution to the killer virus; yet people are dying in great numbers all over the world. Worse hit are those big brother countries who claimed to be world powers. Who think that they can manipulate any system or do whatever seems right to them with impunity without any query from any angle as such live and acted without caution as if the world is under their whirl and caprices including endangering human race. God forbid!!.
1. \”A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. 2. Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God\”. (Psalm 90:1-2).
Moses acknowledged that the LORD is God of all times. Nobody can out smart him. The Earth is of the Lord and the fullness thereof. We forgot that the wrath of God is mighty who can contend with him.
Psalms 90:7-8
[7]We die beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your wrath.
[8]You spread out our sins before you—our secret sins—and see them all.
The Psalmist asked a very virtal question about man that God is always mindful of him.
\”Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them? Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them. (Psalm 8:4) NET Bible.
Almighty God formed man in His Image and Likeness as such man is very important to God , He does not want them to perish just like a wild animal without care rather He wants them to enjoy the good of the Land in the land of the living that was why he kept on visiting Adam in the garden of Eden every evening to ensure that he wasn\’t left alone to goof and behave like a sheep without a shepherd as a result he may die a miserable death.
Job in his moment of travails; he soliloquized and wondered why God is permitting what was befalled him, he then said in Job 14:1-5; 1. \”Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble. 2. He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue. 3. And do You open Your eyes on such a one, And bring me to judgment with Yourself? 4. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one! 5. Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
There\’s limit to what man can do and the works of man, God is the Lord of Host, He is a Sourverign LORD, He is the Creator of Heaven and Earth and everything that is in it. Therefore; He owes the entire universe in His hand and does what He wants to do at His time.
We need Him more than He may need us because if He desires that the entire world perishes by a plague who can Stop Him, if He likes, He can raise an animal or inanimate things to do the works of man; so is us who should cry to Him and call upon Him in a time like we are facing now [ in time of trouble] \”He said call upon me all ye with heavy burden for I will give you rest\”….
\”Set your affection on things above not on the things on the earth\”. (Colossians 3:2)
If we have been following the news of the COVID 19; we would have seen different countries with different strokes. The effects are different and handling is equally different. In all we need the compassion of God Almighty to curtail this terrible plague and the time for God to save Zion is Now!! Be prepared to call upon God to have mercy and compassion and to pardon us of all our sins
When I hear predictions like…. \” O the worse is yet to come, we are yet to get to the peak of this plague\” considering the havock caused so far. I will always declare that the worse is over, it\’s a matter of time we shall rejoice again and come back out of our hidden places, those of us who have gone into self quarantine.
Honestly, we got to watch and pray until God hears us and withhold his anger from the people and heal the afflicted amen.
The entire world is in tumoil, we owe ourselves the duty to turn to God and be saved. Call upon Him to come back to us and never to destroy us. May He not withhold His Mercies from us and may He not punish us as our sins deserves rather He should look on us with His compassion and have Mercy on us and heal as many as are afflicted by the dreaded plegue in Jesus name🙏. Please be safe and make sure you don\’t expose yourself unnecessarily. Trust God and don\’t forget to pray for those who are affected for quick recovery!!. ✍️ BlessingOnugha ❤️
