Reasons for the Drought in Texas
Have you noticed the entire state of Texas is under a drought not only that but most of Texas is under extreme drought conditions. You can blame it on climate change, but who controls and creates the world. Not only that many other states are affected by the lack of rain and higher temperatures. Let's look at what God's word has to say about droughts.
Why the drought
The Bible records the reason why drought comes to a nation or state, and it also records God's instruction for dealing with the situation. "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. " (2 Chronicles 7:13-14 New International Version
Maybe it is time to take the time and pray for Texas, our nation, and our president, for our sins and our wicked ways. The people in our nation are complacent. Could it be we are a people who have turned our backs on God? How about Yoga, which is a religious practice.
Are we headed for a famine in our land or a spiritual famine country?
Maybe it is both.
Famine and Drought, as the Judgment of God, created the world as a good environment that would normally provide ample water and food for mankind (Genesis 1:1). However, the productiveness of the earth is related to people's obedience to God. When there is a people who disobeyed, judgment came on the land by drought and famine (Leviticus 26:23-26; Deuteronomy 11:16-17; 1 Kings 8:35).
Are these signs of the end time?
It could be! Look at our economic situation in our land. Look what took place on tv where the republicans and the Democrats could not come to an agreement. We are in debt to our ears, and they want to raise the debt ceiling to guarantee paying debt for a little longer. How will that solve it, and what will be the outcome the next time our country runs out of money!
Can the United States continue to spend the people's money to continue to pay out handouts? Could it be our sin that the United States is careless and spenders of money to create such a debt crisis?
What is the purpose of judgment?
When God did send drought and famine on His people, it was to bring them to repentance (1 Kings 8:35-36; Hosea 2:8-23; Amos 4:6-8). Moreover, the Old Testament contains promises that God will protect His faithful ones in times of famine (Job 5:20, Job 5:22; Psalms 33:18-19; Psalms 37:18-19; Proverbs 10:3). Amen that the Lord does protect the faithful ones.
God's promise when a people repent.
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. Isaiah 58:11.
