Have you ever wondered how in the world a loving God could allow the horror of September 11th?  That if God were good or loving, He wouldn’t have allowed that to happen?

Dear friend, God is a Gentleman.  And America at large, has asked Him to leave.  Actually, that’s not correct.  We’ve shoved Him out  –

• Out of the public school systems where the next generation could come to know the ONE TRUE GOD
• Out of the court houses in America.
• Out of government and municipal meetings. 
• Out of many places of business – as it is far too politically incorrect to involve Him there.

So being a Gentleman, He has left. 

Yet He has also removed His hand of protection.   “The Lord has withdrawn His protection as the enemy attacks.”  Lamentations 2:3

This morning, I was reading Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Lamentations.  After years and years of almost begging the people of Israel, His own people to return to Him and to repent of their sins – To get rid of the idols they were so obsessed with and to return to Him.  Yet they refused.   As a result, harsh judgement came upon His people.  It came through the Babylonians.   By the way:  (Who are His people today?  Born -again believers.)  

Could God be doing the same thing in our day through a rouge group called Al-Qaida? 

Without a shadow of a doubt, I absolutely think so.  He’s shaking us girlfriend. 

Don’t forget the images that played throughout the weekend on TV.  Don’t forget that 9/11 was a “shaking.”

Almost 3000 people entered eternity that day.   Were they prepared to meet their Creator?  Are you?

More tomorrow…

In the meantime, join me in praying Psalm 10:12 for the victims families of the 9/11 attacks:  “For He Who avenges murder cares for the helpless.  He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer.”
