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 “The Lord has withdrawn His protection as the enemy attacks.”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.”
