The Fires continue to rage!

Well today was better as far as my area for the smoke and ash.  But for fires, the winds continued to drive them on.  We had a couple of additional fires start up and the Lake Arrowhead fire continued. 

It was interesting today, because there was the smell of smoke.  Yet yesterday, was dark and overcast looking, with no smell of smoke.  At least where I am or for me.  I'm not sure how accurate my sence's are seeing how congested these fires have made me.

So I think continuing on the subject of how vulnerable and delicate we are in the scheme of these tragic events is still relevant.  It is something that happens in life, in everyone's life at one time or another.  Good and bad happen, that's just the way life is.  Wether you are a Christian or not has no bearing on what happens in life.  Although I must say living according to God's Word can help you detour from pitfalls and self inflicted troubles.

For there is a proper time and procedure for every delight, though a man's trouble is heavy upon him.  If no one knows what will happen, who can tell him when it will happen?   Ecclesiastes 8:6,7

The wisdom of these two verses is that they are talking about men or mankind but, with God nothing is impossible.  In living the Christian Lifestyle, it means that we are in communication with God at all times.  That's what a relationship is, and wether we are just talking to Him or asking for something He always hears us.  The answer He gives is entirely up to Him.  And God does answerer His children.

God is a very loving Father to us who call Him Daddy.  He always gives us the right things, and always the right answers.  Sometimes He lets us go through things to help us become better or to learn something, but always as our God first, and our Daddy second.  He always provides for us perfectly.

God Bless YOU
