positive and negative

It might not rain here all the month of January, so we are informed by the weatherman.
Is this a positive or a negative.

I expressed the fact that we have no guarantee of rain all year when someone asked how I would celebrate News Years Eve. If it doesn't rain all month that is negative but if it didn't rain all year......

And yet I am right we have no guarantee of rain. We presume it will rain because it has in the past. We presume positivity from the elements. We presume rain and we presume fire will not come near our homes, we presume we will survive floods and high winds.

When I made the expression above about to possibility that it might not rain all year and therefore we might have nothing to celebrate (very Eore I know, "its earthquake weather") I was urged to remain positive because the consequences of a negative outlook actually coming to pass are unthinkable.... No body wants to consider the possible ramifications of a rain-less year.

It would mean devastation for us. We would lose our jobs and property. Maybe if we lived in another country our lives.................

I subscribe to a school of thought that has an Absolute authority as its foundation. I believe God is All Powerful and Sovereign over All things including rain wind and fire.

God is merciful so he does send rain or he has in the past. The right amount of rain at the right time  is a blessing from heaven and we presume our blessing will continue.  But if we consider that we have been blessed in the past not because we deserved it but because of the abundance of Gods love and mercy to all men, then we will realize that because of His love and mercy he cannot keep pouring out blessing on undeserving men. He cannot REWARD THE WICKED forever.

there comes a time where God says they are not responding to my blessing so I will have to try cursing. God really has the same adgenda with blessing and cursing. To get all eyes on Him. He desires to be the centre of our lives and if we do not respond to His kindness and be thankful to Him for all the positive things we have received then we will have to experience life on His bad side.....

we fall into shadow, separated from the light of day we enter into the curse of night.....

The right response for Christians living in a community where this is taking place is.............. sorrow and weeping, tearing of clothes and repentance. We need to begin grieving our lost blessing. Just being positive will not change anything, we have nothing to be positive about. It is our own failure to preach and live Christ in our community that has brought this curse to bear. Many people have turned away from God in our town. Who should we blame for this.... Ourselves.

Jesus gave us the job of making disciples of all men, we have failed to do this and now we must bear the consequences.

God will respond to our prayers if we come to him with broken and contrite hearts, he desires to break our pride. so let us be broken friends.............
