Covid 19 has spread it’s gloomy shadow over the whole earth in these last few months bringing sickness and death in every place. It is also causing economic collapse in countries, in industry and most worryingly in individual homes. Yet so many are working hard to stop it’s effects and it’s spread particularly those in health services and caring professions across the world!
Where is God may well be the cry of many troubled and fearful hearts?
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble” was the cry of the Psalmist.
(Psalm 46:1)
“The LORD upholds all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down”. (Psalm:145:14)
“The LORD is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth”.
(Psalm:145:18)
In the silence of our empty streets particularly in ‘locked down’ towns and cities surely the right thing to do is “Be still, and know that He is God”. (Psalm 46:10)
But the best thing is to know with absolute confidence that the Lord Jesus His beloved Son is risen and with us always. He will save and welcome into his eternal Kingdom all who turn to him and trust in him.
‘….to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God‘. (John 1:12)
