Reading the news this morning and wondering when America is going to wake up and realize that she is under God's judgement.
Extreme snow falls
Extreme tornado outbreaks
Extreme cold
Extreme heat waves
High winds for weeks and months
Raging wildfires
Drought
Floods
Crop failures
Rising food and gas prices
Failing dollar
Financial collapse indicated by housing market and unemployment rate
Dead fish washing up on river banks, lake and sea shores
Dead birds falling from trees and sky
Violence of all kinds increasing all over the country
I sit at my little computer here in our little apartment half way around the world and read the news, from several different sources, both secular and Christian.
I pause and look up. Everything looks so peaceful outside the window. Sunshine highlights new leaves on the trees, a gentle breeze blows, birds chirp, people chat together while sitting on benches in front of our building. Peaceful today. Yet - there is still the sence of waiting, of anticipation, of the calm before the storm.
Something is brewing. Something is going to happen. It's only a matter of a short time.
Father in heaven - protect Your children. Give us courage. Give us absolute trust in You. Give us strength to remain faithful. Give us perseverance, the ability to Stand Firm until the end.
