We are to respect and live in awe of God. Fear of the Lord is not shaking and quaking fear. (That is until I appear before Him with all my sins showing!)
God is all powerful, but chose to limit Himself. He will not do anything that is outside His own nature. I do not believe God causes evil events to gain the attention of His people. I do believe God can and will work through any event with His people to make life more abundant for His own.
For example, we are trying to rid the world of terrorists. I think God would like that.
Why do you think God is demanding? God grants eternal life in His presence to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ. God only gave Moses 10 commandments, and they actually benefit mankind’s life when obeyed. That does not give us a picture of a demanding God.
Maybe you should ask the Taliban hiding in the caves of Afghanistan if America needs to wake up!
