Has My arm lost its power?

What's happening? The world is under the scare of a deadly virus which is even smaller than your one cell. Has His arm lost its power?

Is it troubling you when things continue to go the way you did not like or prefer? Where is God?

Why is God not acting when there is butchery and murder and rape and treachery and money frauding happening around? Has His arm lost its power?

The everyday news has nothing but to say of all these heinous crimes. The world is filled with so much of dirt and filth. Is God really there? Why doesn't He act? Has His arm lost its power?

Personally do you struggle in some sin? You are so sick of it. You tried every possible way to renounce it and throw it off from your life. But why is God so silent? Why doesn't He intervene? Has His arm lost its power?

This statement in the header is asked by God Himself to Moses when the Israelites were rebelling and whining for meat. The Lord promises them meat. But Moses is all doubtful as to how He would give them all meat for one whole month as He promised. The Lord replies "Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true."

Do you believe that the Lord is above all these? An all powerful almighty all knowing God? Unless we set these basics right, there is no point going further.

The Lord is in control.

Now if the Lord starts to deal with sin and rebellion then and there straightaway, then the scene would not have been much different from Noah's time. If the Lord starts to deal with us with His standards we all are going to be wiped away. For Him, being angry is equal to murder and looking lustfully at a woman ( be it on the screen or in person) is equal to adultery. There is no gradation of sin for him.

So He delays so that all would repent.

His kingship that we need to acknowledge will finally prove He alone is the righteous judge. He gives enough opportunity to repent and to return to Him.  So soothing when you see the injustice around you right? But unless it's personal it's going to be scary.

Unless You repent and return dear one you will face the same wrath as a murder or a rapist.

For God says about mankind. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

1 John:1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
