“I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27
Most everyone probably knows about the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendego being thrown into a fiery furnace yet not harmed as God protected them. It is found in Daniel chapter 3. They refused to bow down to the king of Babylon so their punishment was the fire. No one expected to see not one hair on their bodies even harmed.
Do you feel you are in a fiery furnace of sorts now with this lockdown, stay in place, Covid 19 thing? Granted you are not in a burning pit with flames surrounding you but it may seem you are being consumed with unreasonable restrictions. Maybe you wonder what’s next and when can you have your freedom back.
God has you and He has this situation. This is a good time to get closer to the Lord and not bemoan you’re temporary inconveniences. There is an end coming to this so your furnace will be extinguished sooner or later. Don’t get angry at God but trust Him in this confusion.
PRAYER: This is not the same thing as the three guys in the furnace who refused to deny God so potentially faced their death but this is a big trial. Help me Lord succeed in keeping myself sane, stable, and secure in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, this is no time to get angry with God. We need to use this time to get closer to God. Anything that we consider an inconvenience is minor compared to the loss of life from this virus. Peace and blessings
