We are quarantined by Coronavirus, at home, socially isolated, a radical change in the lives of many people who stopped going to church meetings, workplaces, gyms, walks, anyway, the days were quite different from those we usually lived. Although we try to maintain some normality by working from home, teaching our children at home, worshipping God in the family, watching virtual, live, or recorded services, our lives have changed.
A lot of news is published on social media, there are two great opinion parties: those who think that the virus can be very contagious and deadly, and that is why you have to be careful and remain all isolated until the virus is dominated by a vaccine or by absolute reduction of pollution. In opposition, there are those who do not believe that the virus is not as serious and that a big bang is not done at all, and without being quite sure what to do or provide to the government, trade and spiritual leaders have taken several steps to deal with the crisis.
The reality is that things are unclear and that many are looking for the best alternatives.
Sheep, for us who have been separated by God to be His people, all these situations can be a great test for our faith, but we have a guide, a general who gives us instructions with his Word, let us not waste ourselves as sheep without a shepherd Let us go to the Master and seek wisdom, comfort, direction for the next step.
Our wisdom is Christ, it must be our main source of information at all times, but especially in times of coronavirus where so many people want to raise their voices and proclaim what they think is right Do not lose focus!Jesus is the LORD of THE ARMY, he leads the armies, he knows how to command like no one else, he hears the voice of the shepherd of your soul. Do this all the time, fight with the Word of God the thousands of loud noises that bombard your mind all day. Leave no room for lies, fix the truth in your mind. Read the truth, pray the Word, sing the scriptures Paste the message of truth into every fold of your brain.
[?] Christ Jesus, who made us God wisdom, justice, sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).
We are not alone in this sea of events, we have the Holy Spirit that dwells within us, this Spirit that reminds us of all things, including God’s promises to us, promises comfort us because we can look to the future and see the wonders of God waiting for us. We can rekindle our minds and rejoice that all evil will pass ETERNALLY. (And here we express a good and a strong: ALELUIA!).
But the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send for me, will teach you all things and remind you of all that I have told you (John 14:26).
You know, sheep, God led a rebellious people through the desert for 40 years, a people blind to the blessings they received and who continually whispered (we are so similar to the Hebrew people).
But the Sovereign Lord not only guided them, but delivered them from the hand of their enemies. When the Hebrew people fled Egypt, Pharaoh and his army doggedly pursued them, suddenly the people were trapped between the Red Sea in front of them and Pharaoh’s army coming from behind with his armed men of war, advancing with speed and strength in their chariots. drawn by mighty horses. People, on foot, with their families, including women, pregnant women, children, babies, nursing mothers, the sick, the elderly, herds with their young, all fleeing in terror of slavery. Behold, cornered, terrified, terrified and with no way out, they could neither advance nor retreat, that is why the Lord works with power and grace, opening the Red Sea to pass with dry feet. Under Moses’ leadership, all the people crossed the Red Sea in the middle of the corridor that formed between gigantic walls of water that rose on both sides of the road for the people to pass. And as soon as the people passed the enclosed sea, the walls of water fell and slaughtered the enemy army. Long and wonderful story that God gave to his people.
The God who opened the Red Sea to the passage of his rebellious and stubborn people, this God (who is the same yesterday, today and always) will pave the way for us to cross the pandemic, do you think?I think so!
Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this hymn to the Lord, and said, I will sing unto the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously; threw the horse and his rider into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my song; went to me for salvation; this is my God; Therefore, I will praise you; He is the God of my father; that’s why I’ll exalt him. The Lord is a man of war; Lord is your name; for Pharaoh’s horses, with their chariot and their riders, entered the sea, and the Lord made upon them the waters of the sea; but the children of Israel ran dry over the sea (Exodus 15. 1-3. 19)
God prepares a holy (separated) people to live with him in glory for all eternity, fear not, little flock, he is with us guiding us, protecting us, calling us to submit to his benevolent direction. Listen to the shepherd of your soul. Follow the guide.
Our real commander, the Israeli Guard, does not sleep or sleep!Go ahead, sheep!
