The Great Silence

Corona virus be still and know that I am God. Walk through all the streets of the world and there will be none talking of this great silence. Where now is the great roar of the strong ? where now is the wisest cunning of the philosopher.? Where now is the preachers sermon that dressed and pressed you to reach perfection? Where now are the daily attachments of security that was the idol of your worship? Can anyone hear the voices of the marketplace?or the distractions of race relations? What will you do when your nation runs out of rations? Where is all your principled commotions of a divided nation? All your notions of reality are all vain and come short of understanding the rationality of the moment. let’s take a moment of silence for all who are dying of this virus for all those who are flying high above this cycles of great suffering and loneliness. Some even the president as the great cyrus without acknowledging that God works in mysterious way he is the only way to life. This is the knowledge that was as superficial to you as a daily routine. Social distancing got us far from each other’s ills as if we were ever close enough to even chill. Who is my neighbor none knows till misfortune destroys all your fortunes . Oh hypocrite come near to God and he will come near to you wash your hands you sinners and purify yourselves you double-minded. Grieve mourn and wail change laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom humble yourself before the Lord and he will lift you up.
