Is this what appears to be a worldwide heatwave God's Wrath?


Yes, I have been reflecting on this since I saw the posts on Facebook of the very high temperatures all over the country with reports of very high temperatures in other parts of the world. It does make me wonder...what if it is God's Wrath? What if he did decide that one of the ways he would unleash his wrath is through a worldwide heatwave. It is interesting to ponder when we also consider that most of the world has turned their collective backs on the One who created them. Would it be any stretch of the imagination that God would do that? No. Yet I still believe that God is merciful. He is not a God who would punish people unjustly....God is Justice personified in his son, Jesus Christ.

I believe that this current heatwave is just a foretaste of what those who continue to stubbornly reject God will be subjected to throughout eternity. It should be a wake-up call for those who are still on the fence as to whether or not they will follow God or man. Believe me....I would rather follow God than man.

For some of us, it is also another sign that the time of his returning is very near. I anxiously await his return while praying continuously for the people around me. I am noticing more and more the suffering, pain and confusion of the mentally and physically challenged, the destitute and those who have been disenfranchised by the current government. Yet I don't fault the government for their condition. I know that there are good people in government that work very hard for them and for all of us. They are the unsung heroes that quietly work miracles in the lives of those they touch. I do thank God for them.

Will this heatwave break soon? Yes....but what have we learned from it? To be prayerful and to reach out to others with God's saving grace before it's too late.
