It amazes me that in this time and age that fires are still so difficult to manage or extinguish. With so many fire fighters and so much equipment.... one would think that enough men would gather from across the United States and would be able to stop it from spreading. How many men would it take to do such a task?
Surely, if The United States Government could send
thousands of men to an out of control Iraqi situation to help a new government establish, one would think The United States Government could send
thousands of men to Florida to help manage and extinguish an out of control fire. :-? It just doesn't make sense to me the way the United States Government uses it's resources (manpower) . Where is the priority? Where are the reports of progress? All I see are reports of how out of control that fire is. :-?
I'm not quite sure what is going on in regards to the "plans of the Fire Fighters to control the fires". Did I miss a report about their progress and intentions?
Are they given into the thought that maybe it would be better to just let it burn out by itself and to just control the areas in which people live?
I wonder, how many people are fighting these fires? The means used to control fires in California to protect the homes of the rich have been done more quickly. What's up here? I don't get it. :smt017
=============================================
Meanwhile, what else can one do but to pray for a speedy recovery and think of the future and of how God replenishes after the destruction? By faith, His manifestation comes.
The Hope is here, The Glory is on the horizon....
Many times, God uses fire to purge. It is also known that fire cracks the hard shell of the seed pods of many trees and plants in order to release the seeds within. Beauty does come from out of the ashes. Even the charred are used as fertile ground for the new growth. Yes, God knows what He is doing. In some parts of Italy, the volcanic rock covered mountains are considered the most fertile and plentiful in harvest.
If God will replenish a whole mountain from the devastation of a volcanic eruption, He will replenish a land that has been burnt from the devastation of a brush fire or, from some careless man made fire. Nature has a remarkable way of revival.
===========================================
In your hands Lord, In your hands. In due time, In your time Lord.
===========================================
From out of the ashes, there comes a magnificence of His Glory.
