WHAT CAN THE ANSWER BE?

What can the answer possibly be?  Why  is all this happening and what does it mean?  Does it  even have a meaning?  It hurts so much when you look at the devastation and death that has occured as a result of the deadly storms that ran through our nation.The loss of precious loved ones is an ache in the heart that is forever. It can only be comforted by the COMFORTER HIMSELF, nothing else comes close. Psalms 116:15. We cry  out to you Father for mercy. Have mercy on us as you help us rise from these ashes. I am taken into the book of Job in the HOLY WORD as I pray for the pain and heartache this nation is experiencing as a result of the storms, that left this heartache. The enemy was allowed to try Job (he would have anyway, without God's permission) and as a result, he brought Job to the brink,  but that was far enough. Having caused such devastation and pain and health issues in Job's life, his reign of terror ended, with a PRAISER and A WORSHIPPER forever dedicated to GOD ALMIGHTY.  At the time of this terror, Job found it hard and painful to worship God, but he knew that he belonged to God and even though all this loss and pain and devastation was occuring in his life, God was EVERYTHING to him. Job 1:20-21 kjv.  I personally believe that verse 7 is very telling in many ways.  When the enemy answered God  at the meeting he was allowed to attend, he said "from going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it".  God had asked satan where you coming from?(today's vanacular).  In my opinion this is telling  because the enemy said where he was. We know he got kicked out of Heaven for trying to buck GOD ALMIGHTY and to earth he came.  Because he hates God, his job is an evil one. Reak  havoc and cause pain and destruction and he does so.  With what is suppose to be a spring storm with a bit of wind, rain,thunder,and some lightning, his hand in it causes it to be devastating, cause he is evil,  coming to kill, steal and destroy.  Kill the eternal hope God has equipped every believer with, steal the ability to believe God and HIS WORD of abundant life, destroy all things created by THE CREATOR  in hopes that GOD'S people will do what Job's wife tried to get him to do,   "curse GOD and die" (Job 2:9).satan is evil and he is the prince of darkness,  he is not bright at all.  As believers, we are aware of the tactics and we KNOW that THE WORD IS A POWERFUL WEAPON in our arsenal (Ephesians 6:10-18). We will recover from this hit and like Job we will be twice as BLESSED  as before, it has been declared and proclaimed in JESUS NAME!!!   One of my favorite songs that feeds into my spiritman in hard times  has words that go like this:  Jesus, You are strength in my weakness, You are refuge I seek, You are everything in my time of need, You are everything I need, Jesus You carry me.  Our Father in heaven is a Restorer,  Refresher, and a Renewer and it is His good pleasure to do so. Seek Him in this hard time of pain, and allow HIM to comfort you from inside out. Psalm 30:11.  I love you and cry out in prayer for you,  GOD LOVES YOU and JESUS IS LORD!!  Psalm 84:6,  Psalm34:18,  Isaiah 61:2-3.
