Don’t we think it’s about time we stop blaming things on acts of God? Especially when science and nature are involved. After all, our Lord gave us all the right, just, fair and wonderful things that come with science and nature. Please, stop blaming our Lord for things that thoughtless people did or didn’t do on their own accord.

Thank God for giving us the nature of water, which will always follow and flow along the path of least resistance, then resist blaming floods on acts of God.

Thank God for the science and laws of electricity, which will always follow the path of least resistance, then resist blaming lightning and destructive storms on acts of God.

Thank God for giving us the power of thought and faith in God’s world, to follow the expertise in these fields of science and nature, on a path of least resistance. Then resist man’s attempts to change the natural world with money, instead of what is right, just, fair and equitable, which is our Lord’s way. Money is not an act of God.

We are what we do, and not just what we say. Don’t we think?
