Coming to Life

The scorching sun glares down on the brown grass, the wilting flowers and the dry, cracked earth. With temperatures of 101 degrees in the shade, even the wind feels hot. But my mind is not on the weather. My thoughts dwell on something far more amazing.

Two weeks ago, the Lord was trying to teach me about allowing Him to be my shade from the hot, summer sun. And then, driving to a meeting, with no air conditioning in my car, God positioned a cloud over the road so my car was in its shadow for most of the drive. This past week, when hurricane strength winds ripped through this area, the Lord safely guided my car through the pounding rain, the fierce wind and the falling tree branches. Later, I found out that the wind speed was 88 - 90 miles per hour. These two incidents make me stop and ponder on how God is way higher, far greater and more powerful than the weather. He is indeed, our Shelter, our Strong Tower, our Refuge and our Strength.
