Does God ever call a nation to repent these days? It seems in times past it was a common occurrence, so why not now? Perhaps God does His own work. He sends a warning, then waits...and waits...then a disaster...then destroys either naturally, or allows the people to destroy themselves. If we could recognize the message, or the non verbal language of God, we could learn to respond accordingly.
Personally, in my own situation, when I face disaster, I fight it with obedience. Has anyone ever considered "exactness"? Obedience with exactness carries with it great power. It either changes the course, or provides strength to carry on, and personal direction to change your own course.
Too many people nowadays have lost that part of faith, the part that drives you to exactness in obedience.
My reason for posting this right now has to do with hurricanes. Since a hurricane is an "Act of God", the only way to reverse it is exactness in obedience, exactness in belief, exactness in faith.
I really honestly believe this:
Alma 57: 21
21 Yea, and they did obey and observe to perform every word of command with exactness; yea, and even according to their faith it was done unto them; and I did remember the words which they said unto me that their mothers had taught them.
