Peace In The Storm

The east coast is watching hurricane warnings come in. Suddenly my return trip to New York Friday may be effected. Only God knows the path of this storm. I will watch and wait. Sometimes that is all we can do with storms that come.

Here in Southern Central Florida my cousins continue to walk through the valley of the shadow of death. God is with us and He is helping us.

God gives peace in the storms we face. His Word, praying to Him, being around people who love Him brings peace, if not immediately, eventually.

How many times we have waited out storms! In the northeast snow can slow us down and stop at times. The wisest thing to do when snow is falling and the wind is blowing is to stay put. When the rain and wind are blowing and beating against us God is our shelter in the time of storm.

Watching to see what a storm is going to do requires patience. That is all I can do now with Hurricane Earl. That is all we can do at times in life: Watch and wait.

David prayed in Pslam 57.1 I will take refuge in the shadows of Your Wings until the disaster has passed. Good advice for souls that are troubled this day.
