In one of
the northern states, for several years everything had been devoured by
grasshoppers. The farmers were distressed. Some devout people insisted that
if they would meet conditions and pray God could and would deliver. A day of
fasting and prayer was called. Some scoffed, saying, "Can God deal with
grasshoppers?" The people prayed. The grasshoppers had not yet hatched
out but it was almost time and folks knew they would soon appear. After the
day of prayer it turned very warm; unusually so. Soon the ground was covered
with grasshoppers. They literally covered the earth. Then it turned suddenly
cold; very cold. The ground froze hard and every grasshopper died. That year
grasshoppers did not trouble them, nor have they done so since that time.
Yes, God can manage grasshoppers. |
