I wondered how long it would be before people
started blaming Hurricane Harvey on God’s punishment for human behavior.
It appears that some people think that gays are God’s
target. Before 9/11 a hateful e-mail circulated blaming modern problems on God’s
response to permissive parenting and removing prayer from schools; it was given
a new intro and re-circulated after 9/11.
Allow me to respond. Please understand—I am not
presuming to speak for the Lord. I’m just remembering what I read in the Bible:
God tells Abraham that He is going to destroy Sodom
and Gomorrah. Abraham asks if the Lord would spare Sodom if He found fifty
righteous people. The Lord says yes, He would spare it for fifty righteous
people. Abraham keeps asking until the Lord says that for the sake of TEN
righteous people He would spare the city. (Genesis,
18:32)
I firmly believe that there were more than ten, or
even fifty, righteous people in the Twin Towers, in New Orleans during Hurricane
Katrina, and in Houston.
It’s unbecoming to you, and not very flattering to
Him.
