CO VID 19

    I read a facebook post in which the writer stated CO VID 19 led her to the following:

CO 19 for 2 Corinthians Chapter 1 and verse 19. "Indeed we felt that we had received the sentence of death.  But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead."
Then the writer looked up the word "vid" and stated it means "to see" and the word corona means "crown."

Eye opening!  What I see here is a God who is over it all.  He is working, but we must give Him the praise and glory for it all.  There are so many times in scriptures where God waited to perform His miracles because He wanted the people to see that it came from Him.  We do not have His understanding.  I just know that through it all, we must continue to prayer for His grace and his mercy to come quickly rather than later.  And we need to thank Him before hand, in faith, knowing that His mighty work is coming.

Coronavirus Fear

     Amid the Coronavirus, there is a certain amount of fear with some more than others.  This fear is not just over sickness from the virus but, rather, the loss of jobs, the loss of income, and the loss of financial savings.  In order to put our anxiety aside and remove the “fear factor” we must rely on God and His promises.  We must look to the Words of our great Creator.  We need to come together as a Nation and put God back into our hearts and our lives.  He is the One in control of the great world He created.  He tells us not to fear.  He tells us He will heal our land but it comes with an “if” factor.

Job 5:20-21  “In famine He will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.  You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes.”

Psalms 3:5-6 “I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.  I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.”

Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

     Finally, we must claim 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
