Hard headed souls like me sometimes need a bit more of an attitude adjustment than others do before we’ll turn to God for help. Some of us think we are or should be totally self-reliant, but that’s not true. And I know I’m not the only one.
And, it’s even sadder to say, but some knowingly or unknowingly choose to be the examples of why we shouldn’t do those things we’re told not to do. Nonetheless, even then, they can be forgiven.
However, from what I’ve read, their sins are shared by the watchmen on the walls who said nothing and failed to warn them. However you look at it, there sure are lots of attitudes that need adjusting!
To that end, God’s in charge of it all, weather included, and I think we are still in the time of His Grace and Mercy. So, I see weather events as being educational and more like corrections and warnings to remind us, than strictly being punishments.
I think the punishment part of our itinerary comes next when this time of Grace and Mercy is over. These signs and mile markers we’re passing are noteworthy if for nothing else than to tell us we’re on the wrong road, since the pavement ended and turned to gravel some ways back and it’s getting rougher, too.
We reap what we sow and we have been sowing some seriously evil seeds like there won’t be any consequences.
I think He has a hedge of protection around us all, both individuals and this nation. He has marked us as His, His Blood is on our lintel, so to speak, so evil passes us by and we are spared.
But, He also will let things pass through so that our sins find us, like with 9/11 for one example. I think that’s one He let through and that time it was our towers that fell.
Too bad we didn’t learn much from it and, of course, we didn’t pass any that wisdom on to the next generation.
As it is now, we’re still killing them before they’re born. D’oh!!

Thnakfu,ly though there were many faithful who opposed abortions, spoke out agaisnt it, warned agaisnt it and prayed to God to undo the great evil that was foisted on this nation by wicked sc judges.
There is still a lot of work to do as some wicked state leaders are still allowing it, but with God anything is possible, and he may hear the cries of the faithful and answer by changing out good leaders for the wicked that infest and corrupt the state now.
Thankfully the remnant, the restrainer which is the church is still at work on behalf of the nation, and I beleive God recognizes that and will honor the prayers and cries for freedom from Evil tyranny yet. Thankfully we don’t live in a dictator country yet (though the liberals are desperately trying to create one).
