Have you ever questioned God’s timing? I know that I have, more than once! In the wake of the current disasters that are happening in our little corner of the world right now, we may very well be wondering what God is up to! There are major fires in California, Hurricane Harvey was devastating to the Houston area and only God knows what Hurricane Irma is going to do. And just in case you weren’t aware of this, there is another tropical storm already formed in the Atlantic which is coming up behind Irma!
Why so much so close together? The fires in California are possibly the worst ever. The fires themselves set the stage for something much worse for those living in that area. When the rains of Fall/Winter come, mud slides will abound and they will do just as much damage as the fires! The same with the hurricanes. The initial damages are just the tip of the ice berg, so to speak. It will take a long time to recover fully from the devastation those storms have and will cause. With all that said, we need to remember one thing – God’s timing is always spot on. As Christians we must remember that God does not use the same time piece that we humans use. We also have to remember that God did not cause these disasters to hit. Could God stop them? Certainly, but that would mean that God would have to transcend the Laws of Nature, Laws that have been around since God created the world in which we live. Some people want to blame all the storms on “global warming,” but the truth is it is just nature doing what nature does! Sometimes the storms of life are necessary to show us just how powerful nature really is and to allow us to appreciate all our blessings really are! Just remember that Jesus is coming and it may be sooner than later! Amen. Comments are closed.
