In Times Like These
For such a time as this:
…when enhanced community quarantine
causes angst, grievously torturing…
...when lockdown brings ennui
of senseless boredom that seems to be forever…
…when pandemic’s cure
being clamored for is still uncertain…
…when disease-virulence continues to attack
inflicting even the very frontliners striving to subdue such…
…when global crisis afflicts sorely
intensifying financial need of grumbling stomachs…
…when enforced government measures
all the more manifest limitations of human resources…
We need GOD Who is sovereign in His control of every situation!
His grace, mercy, compassion, wisdom, and wisdom
are working together for His good purpose
verily beneficial according to His plan
since the foundation of the universe
until the end of the world
throughout eternity.
Indeed, we can trust His omniscience that perfectly knows everything;
thus, let's keep on yielding to His might, beseeching His healing*
thanking Him midst worshipful praise delight for faith-fortitude
seeking for His forgiveness, protection and salvation
doing our utmost part responsibly by His Word
praying against lurking skepticism-mockery
claiming His assured blessed peace
while sharing His wondrous love
with others blissfully.
*2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
