I have never been one to worry about the weather too much. In fact there have been major catastrophes across the nations; both near and far that I am sure have passed by me unnoticed. If my body trembled and the earth shook I probably assumed it to be the result of a lot of meth amphetamines and endless days without sleep, which by no means was any kind of catastrophe to me but indeed the desired effect! But now being clean and spending way too much time in front of the T.V. I am much more aware of what goes on in the world around me. Our latest catastrophe is this Hurricane Irene, which they have claimed to be the big one of the century. I guess it threatens to wipe out the whole eastern seaboard, devastating at least seven states. I believe these events are totally God’s will as predicted in the Bible but I also believe that He wants to hear our prayers and to know that we care. I know that prayer may not stop these things as they are the signs of the time but He hears and the power of prayer is mighty. Through faith and prayer maybe the awfulness of His awesome wrath is determined? I have prayed much and sincerely for the winds to subside and for His mercy to be upon those in the path of destruction.
I overheard parts of the news this morning and from what I understood, the winds had somewhat subsided and Irene was not as powerful as they had previously feared and so far the amount of damage done has been less than predicted. Now, I realize that there must be millions praying for this situation and that God hears us all but do I think that the outcome would be the same if it were only me? For some reason I kinda do!
Remember, the faith of a mustard seed?!
