Water, Water everywhere but not a drop to Drink.

Moree was completely cut of from the outside world for a least two days by flood waters.
The muddy waters went through a particular building and I helped begin the clean up yesterday.
I wonder if this is an answer to my prayers that God would give His church the town of Moree. That this would be and outpost for the Holy Spirit , that the devils be cast out and that no unclean thing would enter the town.
I asked that God would place Sentinels at all the entrances to the town. To ensure that evil spirits aren't able to enter.
The muddy waters are hardly clean. but are they at least spiritually symbolic of the seperation from the world and its 'traffic' in that all the trucks where stopped, the tourist's where way layed and every one paused for a moment. Not many to consider God it has to be said. But I have never seen so many pedestrians and cyclists as when the bridges where closed. The town took on a holiday atmosphere, while they watched what 'mother nature' was doing. Then yesterday when things started opening up the converstaions turned to complaining, people have lost the easy life they had before the flood now they have either lost a few possessions or have some cleaning up to do. But who do they shake their fist at, who recieve's these complaints. Is it 'mother nature' no, no one can get angry with such a matronly false image.
God recieves the wrath of the people who have been put out by this interuption to them continuing their Godless lives unmolested. Instead of dropping to their knees in praise and gratitude for all the days that everything went 'according to plan' they neglect God and reject him entirely until He throws a spanner in the works then they realise they have been neglecting God and so they get angry with him that he has failed to protect them from this calamity, or they accuse him as an evildoer !
unbelieveable.
How great is God's Grace and how deep is His Mercy that He doest just treat us as we deserve and wipe us out right now.
