Fort McMurray, Alberta

     Everyone has heard about this massive fire, I am sure. It is about as big as Toronto, give or take a few kilometres/metres/feet/inches. When I hear or read about this inferno, I always think of God's judgement on Sodom and Gomorrha.
     Despite the public's opinion that nothing can be done to stop it, I believe that God is in control and, if it is His will, the wildfire will be stopped. If you know the story, the people of Sodom and Gomorrha were so wicked that God rained fire and brimstone down on them and their city. Only Lot and his wife and children escaped, though Lot's wife turned her head back and was immediately turned into a pillar of salt.
     The amazing thing about this fire is that no lives, as of yet, have been lost. This could be about to change, however, as a number of people are trapped in the mountains with the only way out being through the fire. I wonder if they are saved, spiritually. Perhaps - which is what I think - God is wishing that the people who face this giant will think of the end times and repent.
     This is a time to pray: pray that the people of the city and beyond may find God's grace and forgiveness, if they haven't already; pray that God may send the necessary rain to stop the fire if it is His will; and pray that no lives be lost if it is His will, as well.
     Also, don't go back for or stay with your pets! God has given animals wonderful instincts, and they can survive things that humans cannot. Pets are not humans; they don't have souls. It is not so important that they survive.
