As the Lord had told Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived. Numbers 21:9. The snake symbolized in the Bible: evil power, divination, as well as a symbol of fertility, life and healing.

The Israelites was very ungrateful people. From the day they left Egypt the murmuring and complains was more then even God can bear much less Moses. When they prayed and recieved whatever they wanted, God was more than just good to them, he was a great. As soon as they didn’t get what they want the world was coming to an end and they grew impatient, complained about any and everything from not having water, food, the dislike for the food God provided for them in the wilderness, and they spoke against Moses and God. But whenever they’ve sinned, recognize their wrong go to Moses and beg for God’s forgiveness. Moses will go and pray to God on their behalf and God forgives them every time. Numbers 21:1-9

Just take into consideration how God works for a moment. Why the same serpent which represents the temptation to sin which caused Adam and Eve to fall short, now is the very thing God uses as a symbol to heal this rebellious and sinful people and most of all the very thing he sent to bite them for their ways. Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

God wants to get our attention, and he has pulled back the cord. “He’s in control of the world in which we are living in, lest we forget.” God has allowed humanity to go as far as we can and never for a moment were we ever left to fend for ourselves without him, regardless if we acknowledge his existence or not. But now is his revealing time to acknowledge and know under the situation man kind is going through now, God is real. All has failed us right now with covid-19. The sense of being lost, doubt and hopelessness, everyone is feeling right now is over bearing that mental illnesses is definitely going to affect us all. Most people are already in a vulnerable position mentally. The discipline of the mind has to be prevalent, not allowing negative thoughts to dominate our mind about the already bad situation we are going through with covid-19. Look to the Lord, stop whatever and just look to our Lord, to whom your help comes from. The trumpet has sounded.

What we fail to realize is God doesn’t need our permission o be God over us, He just is, from the beginning of our lives till the end. What we decided in middle is our choice to. And really that is what life is truly all about living in th e middle with our choices and knowing God, no matter what has us in his merciful hands all the way, from the beginning to end a midst our choice, never letting us go.

Psalm 100: 3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
