God shook the earth....

and no one gave Him the glory.
They say it was mother nature.
Who is that?
A figment of someones imagination.
God is in control of what happens on this planet.

Pictured below is an interesting graph.
It shows the part of Japan
that was affected by yesterday's tremor.
The squares represent the quakes
that have taken place in the last week.

red~last hour
blue~today
yellow~week

These range from the huge 8.9 of yesterday
down to below 2.5.
too much to take in...
this kind of death and destruction.

My heart breaks for all of the suffering and grief and loss.
and no, we do not understand,
but we are not ignorant
that it was allowed by the mighty hand of God
to accomplish His purposes on this earth.

Read about the earthquake
that God sent when Jesus was crucified:

".....and the earth shook and the rocks were split.......
When the centurion and those who were with him,
keeping watch over Jesus,
saw the earthquake and what took place,
they were filled with awe and said,
'Truly, this was the Son of God.' "
Matthew 27: 52~54
