In times like these it is easy to worry and become fearful and maybe even panic like a lot of people are doing. Do we need to fear? No, we don’t need to fear. Life as we know it has changed drastically and I don’t know if we will recover. I don’t know if the Coronavirus will permanently change our country and our world. What I do know though is Who has us in His hands. God holds us in His hands. He cares and He knows the hardness of what is going on in our lives right now. He knows and cares about those who have to stay home and avoid people, because of their health. He knows and cares about the inconveniences that the Coronavirus brings to so many people. None of this caught Him by surprise.
During Bible School this year they taught us a song. After learning the words to the song that week I claimed it as my song for 2020. Now with all that is going on in the world I’m reminded of that song the song is called “Ancient of Days”.
The first verse reminds me of what is going on in the world and who God still is despite what is going on in the world.
Though the nations rage, kingdoms rise and fall
There is still one King reigning over all
So I will not fear for this truth remains:
That my God is, the Ancient of Days
The second verse of the song reminds us that God is with us in the darkness and we are not alone.
Though the dread of night overwhelms my soul
He is here with me, I am not alone
O His love is sure, and He knows my name
For my God is, the Ancient of Days
Then my favorite verse of this song, which has brought so much comfort to me when not knowing what my future holds this year, is verse three of this song
.Though I may not see what the future brings
I will watch and wait for the Saviour King
Then my joy complete standing face to face
In the presence of the Ancient of Days
