Waxing on Fiery Correction

More than 840 wildfires sparked by an "unprecedented" lightning storm are burning a swath of Northern California, alarming the governor and requiring the help of firefighters from Nevada and Oregon according to The Associated Press.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he was told late Sunday evening that the state had 520 fires, and he found it "quite shocking" that by Monday morning the number had risen above 700. Moments later, a top state fire official standing at Schwarzenegger's side offered a grim update: The figure was actually 842 fires, said Del Walters, assistant regional chief of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. All but a couple were in the northern part of the state."This is an unprecedented lightning storm in California, that it lasted as long as it did, 5,000 to 6,000 lightning strikes," Walters said. "We are finding fires all the time."

Extreme weather has become so commonplace lately that it does not hold the "shock value" that it once did. Unprececented lightning, numerous tornadoes, and a "500 year flood" in the midwest. Could God be trying to correct us? It definitely is not the work of "Mother Nature" because as sweet as she sounds, she simply does not exist...but "Father God" does exist and this arrogant nation would be wise to wake up to His correction before we are completely decimated.

Job 36
29 Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion? 30 Behold, he scatters his lightning about him and covers the roots of the sea. 31 For by these he judges peoples; he gives food in abundance.32 He covers his hands with the lightning and commands it to strike the mark.

Job 37
“At this also my heart trembles and leaps out of its place. 2 Keep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. 3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.4 After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice,and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
13 Whether for correction or for his land or for love, he causes it to happen.
