The Plague Was Stayed

The Plague Was Stayed 

‭2 Samuel 24:25 KJV‬

[25] And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

Whatever happens on earth has a solution on earth. The enemy will have you believe that you have no answer to your problem. The phrase "the plague was stayed" is preponderant in the Bible. The phrase is used about five times in the Old testament. In each instance, the phrase implies a solution that was found to a problem. Every problem is solvable with the right knowledge.  It may require a spiritual quest, a scientific inquiry, a collaboration with others, persistence or innovative thinking. There were many problems in physics that considered unsolvable at a time, then they were casually solved in informal capacities. One author describes th plague as " ...anything that afflicts or troubles like a calamity, scourge, any contagious epidemic disease that is deadly, like bubonic or corona virus plagues, a nuisance. In the bible when they occur it is often as divine punishment". In this last instance, repentance and turning to God stays the plague. In David's case, abiding to divine instructions stayed the plague. What are you experiencing? According to Benson Commentary, " Burnt- offerings were, in effect, prayers to God, that he would remove this plague and peace-offerings were acknowledgments of God’s goodness, who had already given David hopes of this mercy. Delaney supposes that the ninety- first Psalm was written by David in commemoration of his deliverance from this calamity". Read the entirety of Psalm ninety one and see God's mercies. My prayer for you is that the plague be stayed in your life, ministry or place of work. May the boisterous winds obey the voice of the Lord. May the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus be the last blood anyone will shed concerning your case. I feel good about this. The plague is stayed. Good morning.
