Ka-Boom!

This fascinates me, probably more than it should. It's bubbling gas from the sabotaged Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea. May I suggest a tanker filled with Rolaids?

Who did it? And why? All questions without answers at this point. But someone knows, and they're not telling.

There are several theories running unbridled in the media of course, Ukraine thinks that Russia did it. Russia thinks that the United States did it. But no one has any proof, at least for now.

There are all kinds of rabbit holes we could go down, but all of that is just a waste of time. In the end, someone caused it, and others won't like it. Isn't that the story of our world these days?

How about some facts. The pipeline runs from Russia to Germany. This event is a major blow to the environment - all that methane gas being released into the atmosphere. AOC must be catatonic. Swedish, Finish and Norwegian seismologists all detected explosions off their coast. And most importantly, God is still on His thrown.

How do we deal with such catasteophic news headlines and happenjngs in our lives?

Prayer.

We ourselves don't have ANY power over these things. But God does. Wars, hurricanes, nations, people's hearts, are all under God's control. None of this stuff happens without His say-so.

"The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes." -Proverbs 21:1

"For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what are His thoughts, He who makes dawn into darkness and treads on the high places of the earth, the Lord God of hosts is His name." - Amos 4:13

We see all these things happening in the world. Should we be afraid? No! God is in control. These things are happening for a reason.

Let it rain. And trust in The Lord!
