Call me crazy if you like, but as I sit here thinking about what lies in store for this team of about 15 travelling to Haiti in the coming days, I am left with just one conclusion.
God is waiting on His children to demonstrate that they really believe that He is control of it all. We all say we believe that He is in control, but when it comes right down to it, if we are honest with ourselves, many of us will have to say that we spend much of our time trying to control everything and everyone in our lives - EVEN our God.
I have been watching this storm for days now. Watching what can only be considered a bizarre turn towards Haiti. It turned in to a hurricane pretty quickly, but has since weakened considerably to the point that it is now very disorganized.
In my simple little mind, I see satan himself attempting to bring more devastation to a people who are already destroyed. Many of these people rely on voodoo and other false "religions" to get them through. What a win for satan if he can get us to turn our back on Haiti. Think of all the souls he will gain if we (meaning Christians - not me in particular) stay away out of fear, or even worse, out of indifference.
I say if satan is the one trying to send Tomas to Haiti, then perhaps the wind shear and the dry air that is weakening Tomas, is nothing less than the hand of God himself taking command from the hands of his fallen angel. God is in control of everything that happens, and God is good.
We must continue to pray, BELIEVING that the God who created the universe hears and answers. We do NOT sit back and say that it's the weather and it is beyond our control and there is nothing we can do! NO! We pray to the One who DOES have the power to calm the stormy seas. "Peace. Be still..."
He did it once, why do we believe He will not do it again? Let's be faithful to our brothers and sisters in Haiti. They are depending on us, and they don't even know it.
