April 4 – Famine - Isaiah 19:5-10

 

     One of the time-tested ways of God’s judgment is natural disasters.  Egypt will face a drought.  The results will be rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds will dry up.  Fields will yield no crops.  Fisherman and the economy will collapse.  The people and the nation will face great deprivation.  Today natural disasters instead of being heeded are now blamed on climate change and man’s influence.  God’s judgment is ignored, and man’s importance and so-called changes mean nothing.  In the author’s country the government has been taxing the population to reduce carbon emissions only to find in the time they have been doing these emissions have increased.  Man’s wisdom is always foolish and ineffective.
