Then in their trouble they called to the Lord, and he saved them from their distress. He calmed the raging storm, and the waves became quiet. (Psalm 107:28-29, Good News Translation)
We had storms here twice this week. Many were without power for three to four days. Trees broke off or were uprooted. Thankfully, in my little yard, we only had heavy rain and a lot of branches; our electricity was off for only sixteen hours.
It can be frightening, though. We looked out the back door, and the wind was buffeting the trees so much they looked like flags waving in a breeze. We kept waiting to hear them snap and break, or worse for that sound of a barreling locomotive which would mean a tornado.
We prayed for God’s goodness and mercy.
When we were driving around our town the other day, it was hard to see that God had been kind to us – one of our cemeteries had been hit hard. But our village, the entire area, even our state, survived. God is good, and He blesses us no matter what the weather – or life – throws at us.
Lord, Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness to us in our times of need. Send Your Holy Spirit to the non-believers so that they need not fear when they are faced with troubles. Amen.
