Queensland Floods
by Helen Murray I wrote a poem about the Queensland floods, trying to see it from God's point of view. Scripture talks about disasters in the last days. This certainly looks like what He meant! I was inspired by reading Haggai. The Lord was telling him that the people were living comfortably in their panelled houses, but had not built Him a temple, and should do so with great haste. I thought of how Australia was built on scriptural principles to a major degree, but has gone far from them of late. It has got very comfortable with itself, but has neglected to become a nation of faith and prayer. Anyhow I wrote it and here it is for what it's worth. Queensland floods Great South Land of the Holy Spirit, Alias Australia, You are Mine. I created you. You are magnificent. I made you that way. Remember to build my house. My house is a house of prayer. Where are your prayers? My house has been pulled down. Rebuild my house. Eternity speaks! Hear the voice of Eternity. Know that everything is Mine. I can take your structures from you. I will take your structures from you To show you I am Lord, And win your heart. What I can take away I can return tenfold When trust mounts high on the wings of suffering. You are wonderfully made. You have been dragged through mud. You trust too much in you. Build me a house of prayer That's founded in my Word, And see what I will do with you. If you will not do this, Then you must not blame Me For I will let you go your way.
