22e CORONA CRISIS
Jesus understands Corona
better than the wisest men.
Where it comes from, where it’s going,
how to kill it in its den.
God’s not taken by surprises, Psalm 139
doesn’t panic like we do.
He’s not stymied by our crisis ~
Plagues, for Him, are nothing new. Ex 11:1; Psalm 106:30; Rev 16:21
God rules all things for His purpose, Daniel 4:34,35; 5:21
He controls what happens here. Isaiah 45:6,7
He sends blessings, He sends curses, Deuteronomy 18:1-14; 15-68
He sends suff’ring, He sends cheer.
Ev’rything that happens to us Jeremiah 17:11 Romans 2:4
must bring sinners to repent,
must conform us to the image Romans 8:28,29
of the Saviour whom He sent.
As we trust and pray for mercy Psalm 51:1 Habakkuk 3:2
on ourselves and on our land,
we will turn from sin that hurts Him,
let Him form us by His hand.
May Integrity, Contentment, Jn 15:26 Jn 15:18-20 Phil 4:11,12
Jesus’ Love, Humility John 13:34 Matthew 11:29
demonstrate our true repentance, Luke 3:8
showing Christ for all to see.
With Corona’s crisis showing
such nutritious, healthy fruit,
‘twill be worth the heavy going, Hebrews 12:2,3
foll’wing Jesus on this route.
We will follow His example, 1 Peter 2:21
salt and light within our land. Matthew 5:13-16
He will use us as a sample Ephesians 2:7
of the purpose He has planned.
