Returning home...
to trees uprooted...
power lines down...
no electricity...
no water...
A powerful storm... perhaps a tornado... leaving in its wake... a big mess... in just a few minutes... less than an hour...
The cleanup will take days... if not weeks...
Such storms remind us... how little control we have... how little power...
The entirety of the whole human race couldn't stop it... change it... or slow it down...
All we can do is wait storms out...
then clean up...
repair as best we can...
It reminds me of mankind's need...
for a Strong Tower...
a Shelter in the Storm...
a Rock on which to build...
He alone controls the powers of the universe...
they are in His hand...
a word from Him can calm a storm...
How grateful I am to know Him...
and for these moments to be reminded...
how much we need Him...
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for men.
Psalm 107:28-31
