WATCH AND PRAY
by
Joy Nwosu Lo-Bamijoko
Indeed, these are difficult times. A time for soul-searching. A time to take notice of just how fragile we humans are, and, a time to look to God for solutions.
There is a plague ravaging the whole world, and what are we doing? We are running helter-skelter, trying one remedy after another by trial and error. Each day we are thrown deeper into a pile of confusion with all the false and misleading information we are being given. And still, there is no solution in sight.
We are a people who have built huge cities, shuttled to the Moon, and created structures mightier than our imaginations. We have accomplished so much greatness, that now we have begun to believe that we are gods - that we have all the answers and solutions to everything. The human looks around and sees the great things God has given him … the knowledge and skills to achieve, and now, he believes he can challenge God. Because of these reckless beliefs, man goes into laboratories to play God - looking for ways to surpass God’s greatness.
The result is what we are experiencing today. God created order; man creates dis-order. God sits and watches us, like He did with us during the time of the Tower of Babel, with man trying to prove that we are gods. With His little finger, He muddled the waters to show us that only He is God, and He is the only one in control. Now, we have gone ahead and messed up the order of things again, and He continues to watch us. What amusement it must be for Him to see us wreaking havoc in the world, and then trying to clean it up without much success.
I don’t believe that God will allow the whole human race to perish because of this. Those who believe in Him are praying, and those who do not, are still clueless. Eventually, God will relent, and again, with His little finger, redirect things in His own good time. He will inspire a human to come up with a solution to end the pandemic; a human who will probably take the credit for doing so. It will not matter at all. God knows His creatures more than we know ourselves. He will understand. Those who know the ways of God will thank Him for the end of the pandemic because they will be able to see the hand of God at work in it.
Will the end of this pandemic stop the non-believers from trying to one-up God? Never! That is not the nature of the evil one. He never stops trying to prove to his followers that he is more powerful than God - that whatever God can do, he can do better.
All I know and pray for is that whoever inflicted this pandemic on the world is going to be in great trouble at the end of it all. They will pay! This will come back to haunt them, person per person, death per death, economy per economy, for all they have done. So, help me God!

I believe this pandemic was man-made, and specifically engineered to get rid of as many older and diseased people as possible––not to mention minorities. This virus acts like no other in history. I hope we can apply all the good lessons we've learned during isolation when this pandemic is finally over. And I agree, those who are at fault will suffer God's wrath at some point. I have no doubt.

I couldn't agree with you more, Vashti. I too believe that those who are at fault will be brought to justice sooner than later.
I enjoyed your piece of writing, Joy.
All the best!
