“And David built there an altar unto the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the Lord was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.”
2 Samuel 24:25 KJV
David had, in a moment of taking pride in all his achievements, asked his commander in chief to make a census of all the army of Israel, those fit to fight. As a result the plague came upon Israel and many died. David recognised his foolish behaviour and repented before God with burnt offerings and peace offerings at the altar he built to the Lord. Today our altar is the Cross of Jesus. As we repent at the Cross on behalf of man’s foolishness to turn away from God and depend on our own strength by making foolish decisions, surely God will stay the coronavirus. Let’s come to the foot of the Cross and bring the sacrifice of praise and worship in thanksgiving to our God Who hears and answers our prayers!
