And there was nothing save it were the power of God, which threatened them with destruction, could soften their hearts; wherefore, when they saw that they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea they repented of the thing which they had done, insomuch that they loosed me.
God uses his power to soften our hearts so they become susceptible to the peace of his spirit. He must sometimes shake us to get our attention. He does not delight in pain, afflictions, destruction, and disasters, but he delights in repentance and having his children draw near to him. He uses his power to best effect to knock us off the wrong path and nudge us onto the right one. He demonstrates his love through his power.
