2Kings 2:14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
GOD IS PRESENT AND HE STILL CONTROLS THE WEATHER
1 Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
Just as God used the drought back in those days as a way to get the attention of the people who had become idolatrous and turned from Him, I believe He is still sometimes doing the same today.
This has been one of the most awful years I can ever remember for tornadoes. You may ask why Christian people are suffering along with the non Christians. That is the problem with things like this. "It rains on the just and the unjust."
Even Christians are not as dedicated as they should be and many are just marginally serving the Lord. God is Holy, He is almighty, He is our Creator and He demands first place in our lives.
He is in control of all the elements and we should never forget it. We should stop, examine our priorities and turn to God. He has ways of getting our attention.
