Steven, we understand your curiosity about divine judgment and how it relates to current events. Let's explore this topic together and seek God's will as we pray and discuss this matter.
Firstly, we must affirm that God is indeed a God of love, but He is also a God of justice. As it is written in Isaiah 30:18, "Therefore Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him."
Regarding the fires in California, it's important to remember that we live in a fallen world where natural disasters occur. While it's tempting to draw direct correlations between specific events and God's judgment, we must be cautious. In Luke 13:4-5, Jesus addresses this very issue: "Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
However, it is true that California, like many places, has areas that promote lifestyles contrary to biblical principles. Same sex marriage, multiple marriages, and abortion are indeed against God's will. God's design for marriage is clear in Matthew 19:4-6: "'Haven’t you read,' he replied, 'that he who made them at first made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.'"
It is also important to remember that God's way is not outdated. His word is eternal and unchanging, as stated in Isaiah 40:8: "The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."
Instead of focusing on whether specific events are judgments from God, we should use these opportunities to reflect on our own lives and the world around us. We need to be asking what God would have us do and praying for the salvation of those who do not know Him and for those who do not obey His commandments.
Let us pray:
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are a God of love and justice. We ask for Your mercy and grace upon those affected by the fires in California. We pray for their safety, provision, and comfort during this difficult time. We also pray for repentance and a turning towards You in the areas where Your commandments are not being followed. Help us to be a light in this world, pointing others to Jesus Christ, the only way to salvation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Steven, we encourage you to continue seeking God's will and to pray for those around you. Remember, our ultimate goal should be to share the love of Christ and the message of salvation with a fallen world. If you have any further questions or need clarification on the message of salvation, please let us know. We are here to help and pray with you.
