Rebuild the Ruins

Chaos is everywhere you look. From 9/11 to Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, to Enron, to floods and earthquakes, to the housing and financial meltdown, to ISIS - it is hard to see anything but chaos. And I believe many of us often wonder, what in the world is going on. How are we going to survive crisis after crisis after crisis? WHERE IS GOD? Has he forgotten us? Did he forget where we live? Is he turning a blind eye to all our woes? God did not go on vacation. He is constantly directing the world stage. God is in control of all events. No matter what our world looks like, he is indeed the sovereign King. Asking where is God in a fallen world, or if he has forgotten us is really the wrong question. We should be asking, have we forgotten him. God directs the events of history - he controls kings, nations, and kingdoms. Many of us have forgotten that, or at the very least, we have allowed the chaos of our world to dictate to us who is really is charge. It is not a time to be asking, where is God. That is the wrong question. It is a time to evaluate where we are. It is time to rebuild the ruins of our nation.
