This is what the Lord says:“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ Jeremiah 6:16

Over the last few weeks I have had a few instances if experienced irritability caused by both sight and smell. While visiting someone near the beach, it hit me instantly. Red Tide! The smell of dead fish and the stench from the Red Tide hit my nose and I immediately remembered from years past. This sinks!

I saw headlines in local newspapers of people lining up at the beach AND at city council as they demanded something be done… as if man can do ANYTHING to prevent a natural disaster! But they were SERIOUS! My spirit said, “This stinks!”

I am not a prophet like Elijah or Jeremiah. But I know God’s Word. And I DO know the proclivity of man to ignore it… AND God. Jeremiah 6:10 says, “To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the Lord is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.” In looking at the direction of the angst from our population, I feel a similar concern.

America was founded on ‘The Bible’ by people who ‘believed it.’ The Bible tells us that before the fall of Adam, we were made to rule the earth. But what has happened to us? We have forgotten that GOD is the one we should be turning to when we face individual and corporate struggles. NOT City Council or politicians. I hear God calling!

Will you join with me in praying together to God, the author of Creation, to remove this stench and nasty disaster from us? Do we not have His instruction to look to Him and simple ASK? How hard is it to acknowledge that we are simply flawed humans incapable of fixing ourselves. That we need God’s help in this time of difficulty? And ASK HIM!

Tonight at Bible Study at 6:45 pm we will take some time to go out by the Flag Pole and simply PRAY and ASK GOD to “Turn the Tide!!” Will you Join us? Other times are pending.
