God Is Closing Down California

I have been following the news of California's drought.

DROUGHT COMES WHEN GOD WITHOLDS RAIN 
(Job 12:15a GNT)

Most of the state of California remains in a drought.
USA Today

 It is obvious to see that God is closing California down.  Anyone can see the hand of God Almighty.  He is the One Who gives the rain.  He is the One Who withholds the rains.  All flesh is dependent upon Him.  HE PROVIDES RAIN FOR THE EARTH; HE SENDS WATER ON THE COUNTRYSIDE. (Job 5:10 ISV)   THEY DO NOT SAY TO THEMSELVES, "LET US FEAR THE LORD OUR GOD, WHO GIVES AUTUMN AND SPRING RAINS IN SEASON, WHO ASSURES US OF REGULAR WEEKS OF HARVEST." (Jer. 5:24 ISV)

Last night I became particularly alarmed about California when I saw a picture of the lack of snow pack in the Sierra Mountains. The mountains are bare.  Is it a bare waste?   Its really tragic.  Last year at this time a satellite image showed a beautiful, white snow covering over all the mountains.  Now, what do we see?  Brown waste.  This is serious. The drought is not stopping soon, unless there is a miracle from God above.  Never before has California had such a drought in recorded history.  The rainfall is minuscule.   Precipitation is at  its lowest levels ever recorded.  Recordings have been kept for 100 years.  I would not be surprised if we eventually see California going into famine.

California will have to start building desalination plants like the Arab states of the mideast do. Years ago there was a move by California to divert water from the Columbia River in Washington and Oregon down to California.  That movement was defeated.  I don't think it would be right for California to rape the Columbia River like they have the Colorado River.  The Colorado River has been consumed by the sins of California.  It's startling and shameful to see the Colorado River now.

What can we say about all of this?  God have mercy on America. God is pleading with us.

The Almighty in Hims mercy is giving us more time to back to Him, and Him alone.  He is full of love and compassion. We need Divine Providence.  May all of us Americans humble, and seek God, not government.  Let us seek the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, through His Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth.  God, have mercy, bring us back to you.  May we seek your face.  Empower us to turn from our wicked ways.  Please heal our land.  Amen.

  God says:  IF MY PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME WILL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND I WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN AND WILL  HEAL THEIR LAND.  (2 Chron. 7:14)



Chuck Missler says that turning away from our wicked ways is the key to God's blessings.  There is power in repentance I have found out.   YAHWEH GAVE, AND YAHWEH HAS TAKEN AWAY.  BLESSED BE THE NAME OF YAHWEH.  (Job 1:21b WEB)
