Ezekiel 5:11 (New American Standard Bible)
"So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare."
"So as I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare."
Yesterday our pastor, Dr. Chuck Herring, who attended seminary in New Orleans, began our prayer time with a cry out to God to diminish or even stay hurricane Gustav.
How little faith we all must have when many of our prayers are initially only for the people or the city of New Orleans. Jesus said that if we ask, we shall receive, even if we only have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move a mountain. What power we have in our Savior!
As the church prayed, I wanted so much for the storm to seize. Not just for the people of New Orleans, but for any who would doubt God's power and his sovereignty.
But then it obviously occurred to me that God's will is what we should pray. Does God continue to allow these vicious storms on America to get her on her knees. Ezekial offered the warning from God that He would withdraw, and would have no pity and would not spare those that worshiped idols. Just look at America today. Is this part of a judgment from God?
My prayer is that all of these storms that we face will bring many to repentance and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do you have any thoughts. Please comment.
God bless and safety to all in harm's way.
