I am trying to pay attention to what God is showing me, in fact I believe HE is showing many the same thing. Three things within 3 days. The first, one of my hip height raised beds collapsed in the garden. At first, I didn\u2019t think much about it, the bottom probably had rotted out.<\/p>\n
Then, two days later a terrible storm with large bolts of lightning, that night my stove did not work, the storm had fried the computer board of my glass top stove.<\/p>\n
This afternoon, a call from one of our five churches; the freezer that was working perfectly on Wednesday is no longer working. I had just received 162 pounds of donated hamburger meat for our Food Pantry Ministry and placed it in that freezer. Today, a Church teacher called and said there was blood all over the floor and the meat had already gone bad. Our heat index since Wednesday has been 106 degrees, so the meat being ruined didn\u2019t surprise me. Those freezers are on a covered screened in patio.<\/p>\n
What I do see is a common denominator, all three incidents involved food. Growing it, cooking it and preserving it.<\/strong><\/p>\n I grow our vegetables and can them here at home. Not having a stove means I am not able to can food or cook it. (Try using a grill to can food, it does not work! The flame is too far away)<\/p>\n This is what the Bible says about famine.<\/p>\n Deuteronomy 28:48<\/strong> \u2013 48\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the\u00a0Lord\u00a0will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and lack of everything. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.<\/p>\n
