Who is our Savior?

We hear so many interpretations as to finding the cause and then the reasons why we aren't able to mitigate effectively and will it ever end? We all agree to a larger extent that we are ardently obeying and following the instructions by Government, health professionals, experts and now what? Any time in the history of pain and suffering when things are in grave danger, we think where is God? Since the Temple, Mosques and Churches remain shut. Being part of the social network I keep hearing some rough debates constantly being picked up trying to disapprove the existence of God and blame God per se, some picking the lapses of the Government and throwing sharp criticism over it, some condemning a particular country who they think is the cause for all problem. How does it matter to all of us is the question?

First time in history the whole world is battling together for survival. According to BBC, a total of 81% of the global workforce of 3.3 billion people have had their workplace fully or partly closed. Four out of five people's job is hit by pandemic. The outbreak is expected to wipe out 6.7% of working hours across the world during the second quarter of 2020. That is the equivalent of 195 million full-time workers losing their jobs.

It is time to look unto God whom we grieved with our wretchedness and most often tampered the freedom God has given to choose between right and wrong. Have you noticed when all things were working good and things were favorable we defined God, we defined religion, we defined who is big and who is small, we defined what is right and wrong, we defined moral law, we defined who the minorities should be, we defined who is entitled for privilege and who should serve us. Now when God had to bring things to a halt, our focus is turning on God to help us or we still think we can survive on our own?

Al Jazeera news reports that the global domestic violence have increased drastically and in India nearly one-third of women say they have experienced domestic violence. Misuse of power and role are at the peak unfortunately. And now with liquor shops opened in India people are flooding to get their share. The reaction though is ambiguous but for certain, cannot have a positive impact. Let me share some mixed comments published in twitter,

Let us understand because we are relationally intertwined, any breach of moral rules will adversely affect another. This may not be evident at the time, but the consequences will show up later. The hurt will compound with each small violation. God wants us to know Him and restore our relationship with Him. Can we ask God to have mercy on us? These are the words of Jesus in the Bible which says, “In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”.  Dan Allender states “Crisis exists to remind us that we are fundamentally not in charge.”. God is in charge already. Can we set our ways right, perspectives right and restore our relationship with God and human beings with love?
