There is a Bible verse that has always made folks wonder.
It is found in 2nd Corinthians verses 7-9. Paul is writing: I was given a thorn in the flesh by a messenger of Satan to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me but he said to me , “My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
Everyone has wondered what that thorn was. Most think it was his eyes, but that doesn’t matter to us today because all of us have the same thorn. It is called Corona virus, but we have shortened that to Covid-19. Now Paul only prayed three times for his thorn to be released and it wasn’t. I am sure people all across the world have prayed many thousand times to be released from our thorn, and we so badly want God to take it from us.
We sit in our homes wondering how long this virus can last. Certainly the nurses, doctors, firemen, police, first defenders, etc. are wondering too. But is God saying to us “.My grace is sufficient for you for my power is made perfect in weakness?” I’m not sure but that God wants all of us us to repent.
We need to repent of so many things. We have let our country down and each of us is guilty. Where were we when we voted that murdering our babies was okay. where were we when we let our schools change to no praying, no Bibles or even to display the Christmas theme in any way, and where were we when marriages became almost nothing when people of the same sex can marry. I could go on. Yes, we need to repent!
I know I’m nothing, but several nothings can make quite a group. If many of us would really repent as to how our country has been nearly destroyed, I’m sure that God’s grace would be enough for us. Our Covid-19 would disappear and better yet, our country would shed much of our sins. Let’s try it. How about it?
REPENT MEANS TO PRAY THAT WE ARE SORRY FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT HAVE MADE OUR COUNTRY LOSE MANY OF THE GOOD THINGS. WE, OURSELVES, ARE GUILTY, AND WE PROMISE THAT WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO CHANGE WHAT IS BAD AND KEEP WHAT IS GOOD.
