Promise about our climate

The Lord brought order in His creation... and a promise
It rained, again, in Southern California… A winter storm in this part of the world brings more than snow in the mountains and welcome water in the wells and reservoirs; it causes havoc on the burned hillsides. A steady flow of debris and dangerous mudslides make their way to the Pacific and leave a trail of destruction behind.
In view of all the discussions about the warming of our global climate, the extreme weather in the USA seems to be out of place, sort of like a practical joke from the Creator. Ha ha folks, you can discuss and debate all you want, but I am still in charge here!
Worldwide meetings and conferences, scientific research, millions of dollars in campaigns and media coverage… and we’re still missing the point; it is pathetic, really...
After the biggest climatic disaster in human history, the Flood, the Lord brought again order in His creation and added a promise. He said:
As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease.
(Genesis 8:22)
Storms, floods, extreme cold or heat and changing numbers and statistics, it doesn't frighten me. God has the first word and the last. That settles it for me!

  1. That is a great verse to reference when discussing this issue! I've thought of you often and wondered how your area may be involved. In the words of a Missouri friend... "glad you don't have your dobber down!"

  2. Thanks Lorrie, we're okay where we are, close to the beach, far enough from the mountains, I can see the snow from my kitchen window though, beautiful sight! Thanks for stopping by Missouri friend :)

  3. What a wonderful spot you live in, Marja. But how dreadful about the wash down from the rains storms.
    What a blessing indeed that God is in charge.

    'In the beginning....God' and in the end it will be ..God.
    Hallelujah for that.
    Blessings, Wyn.
