Blessings of storms # 2
October 21, 2021
Have you ever noticed that after storms, grass is greener, flowers more brilliant, bushes and trees flourish? They may all look a bit drenched at first. But then the sun comes out! Needed water, added heat, after the storm is sweet.
We typically don’t ask for a storm in our life, our family, our church or our nation. Perhaps we should. Storms are God’s way of shaking things up.
The weak house collapses. The superficial church with shallow roots of little truth must change or be uprooted. The family must define what is needed to cling together. Extra baggage is just that.
We discover that we are not defined by where we live, others opinion of us, what group we belong to. We are defined by our tenacious clinging to our Lord, no matter what.
