God Sent This Problem

I know this is not going to be a popular thought but I must express it anyway.

This COVID 19 virus is God's judgment on the world. Wickedness abounds in every nation!

I do not pray against this virus, I pray that many will realize their depravity through it and come to Christ for Spiritual healing through faith in Him.

I am not angry at any man for how things are working out because it was mankind that brought all this on themselves. Rather than looking inward to their own sinfulness that brought all this judgement they are blaming countries and leaders when it was God that allowed it.

Amos 3:6-7 "? 6 If a trumpet sounds in a city, will the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it? 7 Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.…"

There will be "Christians" who will not like the idea that God sent this plague and that God allowed leaders to mishandle things to cause further chaos financially as well as death.

It seems wrong to pray against what God has ordained for the punishment of mankind. After all, did Noah pray against the flood? NO, he just began and faithfully remained building the ark.

I am not angry at a man or a government for how things are working out because it was mankind that brought all this on themselves. Rather than looking inward to their own sinfulness that brought all this judgment they are blaming countries and leaders when it was God that allowed it.

This is a small plague compared to what is coming. The tribulation is on the horizon but most people will not listen, most will not bow their knee to Jesus Christ. They will continue on as they did in Noah's day and in the days of Lot, as though everything was fine and nothing bad is going to happen.

God is showing His power in this pandemic and the need to turn to Him. People are feeling fear and helplessness. Here is something they can't seem to have control of, its bigger than their ability to handle it.

The question is this; "will this country and the world see their need to repent and confess their sinfulness because of their helplessness?

My prayer if for nationwide repentance and humility to become born again for everyone.

Whether you believe this was a real threat or not there still remains chaos in the world over it. It shows us just how people will respond when they are faced with something beyond their power. They will turn to a human being who they think can save them.

John 14:6
"6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
