Summary (due to privacy): Explanation for a prayer request.

I've been noticing something I don't quite understand. It makes it look like God deals more {or less} harshly with some sinners than others, and I thought the Bible says He's no respecter of persons. Ok, it's hurricane season. I notice many islands got hit by strong ones over the last few seasons: Haiti, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas. Now I see Hurricane Humberto, a category 3, might hit Bermuda. Now Florida, along time ago, used to be a big "hurricane state." But every hurricane season lately, no matter how many of them form, or even if the weather people say there's no way it will miss Florida, it always seems to turn away, even the last one, Dorian, who they were hyping up would hit, then as the time neared, it went further and further out to sea. {Always happens.} Now, that leaves me with a question, which is this---if God is "even-handed," trust me, there's plenty of rude people in Florida, so why is God "protecting" them/And, the flip side, what are the people in the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Haiti, etc., doing that they DO get hit? I read, "ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Yet God punishes some, and others He "protects." {And it's not because everybody in Florida is a Christian, believe me, they're not.} So God no respecter of persons, but to me there seems an imbalance here. Any clues to why this is happening? You could say, well, there's a lot of people in Florida, so God shows compassion on them. But there are people in the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, etc., but God lets them get "zapped." I don't understand.

God is the judge of all nations. He sent fire to ### and ### to burn sinners and calling to repentance and scape the fire. Lot and his family were saved by the grace of God. Only Lots wife was lost becoming a pillar of salt when she disobeyed Gods word. Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and the hot temperature on earth are signs that Jesus is watching everything we do and say. Predictions are saying that the earth will be burning the same way the sun does one hundred years from now. The bible tell us the the earth will be consumed by fire. Whatever comes from Gods word is true and we must wait and see what the future will hold. As for me and everyone I am praying for and those I love and care, they are on their way to heaven. That is our real home that will not be destroyed nor disspear in space any time soon. Jesus clearly said. I am going to prepare a mansion, that where I am there you may be also. I believe this with my whole heart.

God's merciful heart toward sinners and those who fear His name will reach over them when they need it. Niniveh was a city to be destroyed. A wicked city, rebellious. Jonah preached, the king believed and repented and they were saved. God will save those who come to Him and confess their sins. All we have to do is to fast and pray for those wicked cities to repent and come to Jesus.

I BELIEVE THAT SOMETIMES GOD DOES INTERVENE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT NATURE HAS A COURSE IT TAKES AND GOD JUST ALLOWS IT. LET'S FACE IT, THE EARTH IS CRYING OUT FOR THE LORD'S RETURN, WE HAVE DAMAGED THE EARTH WITHOUT ANY REGARD.

Yes, but it still looks like, given what I've described, some "get away with it" more than others.

GOD'S WAY OF THINKING ARE NOT LIKE OUR WAY OF THINKING, WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE WAYS OF GOD. GOD WILL HAVE THE FINAL JUDGEMENT.

My heart, my life and my everything belongs to the Lord. If He send hurricanes, earthquakes or floods to my door, I am ready to give it all away and stick to God's word. Thy will be done above anything else we want or desire.
