Psalm 114
This is a short Psalm remembering the events of the exodus of Israel from Egypt -
The long trek from Egypt to the land of Canaan is described as Jacob coming out from a people of foreign tongue, Judah became God's sanctuary and Israel his dominion.
At the time the sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back and the mountains leaped like rams.
Why was the natural order in such disarray? the Psalm asks
It is attributed to the presence of the LORD, the God of Jacob , who turns rock into a pool and hard rock into springs of water.
I guess that some people would argue that unusual weather and global warming are myths and that climate change is the will and purpose of God
Personally I don't think the science and evidence mounting annually can be ignored - if there is the slightest chance that our overuse and misuse of the planets resources, dumping literally billions of tonnes of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, we have to take seriously that we are temporary residents of this planet and have a responsibility to look after and use the resources in the best way we can
Science has proved that we dumped millions of tonnes of poisonous lead in an effort to make our engines operate more efficiently on lower grade petrol.
Amd that we used thousands of tonnes of CFC which destroy a vital layer of the atmosphere that absorbs harmful UV radiation to make our armpits smell better
Ironically these last 2 were the brainchild of just one person!
