Isaiah 15:6. “For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing.”
DESOLATION. Where can they go to find what they need, even the necessities of life? There are serious consequences when against God and His people you strive. It is true His people don't always do right; they too are prone to sin - But when you rise against the apple of His eye, you are taking your war to Him.
He is the One who makes the waters spring forth from deep within the earth. He is the One who can stop their flow and bring on the land a dearth. The waters in the seas and in the clouds above are subject to His plan. He can give or withhold as He sees fit; He is the One in control, not man.
In the spring rain and the warming earth cause grass to spring into life. It continues to grow and nourish and feed; and at times fall to the harvester's knife. It may seem insignificant, but without grass, everything around would die.
When God stops grass from its normal cycle, judgment is very nigh.
The nutrients of the earth are brought together in plants our bodies to feed. If they were to cease growing, where could we go to meet our fundamental need? The desolation that would sweep the land if plants refused to grow - Would stop humanity in its tracks, we would find there is no place to go.
God has arranged seasons, and times, and things to bless us in our need. As a result of His careful design, there is everywhere evidence to heed That God in His grace intends us humans to look around and learn of Him. The reason desolation and troubles come is because of our proneness to sin.
The winds and the seas obey His voice, and it seems as the years go by Even nature that obeys God is increasingly stronger; people are wondering why. Men come up with explanations, that seem so complicated, but even they don't fit. Our troubles are deeper than what they say; our sin is the cause of it.
It happened before when people turned away from God and fought with His chosen people. God changed the weather, crops failed and died as God made everything equal. Without food and water, a people at war, no matter how many or how strong - Must stop to survive, consider what they've done, and repent for all their wrong.
Desolation has a way of bringing people down; of making the strong ones weak. There is a reason behind desolation, God is calling on people to seek The Lord Himself while He may be found, and call upon Him while He is near. People will find, whoever they are, that God is in control down here.
“Lord God of heaven and earth: the recent times of desolation in our country have made a lot of people wonder why there are so many natural disasters taking place. If Thou art speaking to our nation, give us ears to hear Thee and the will to obey Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
