Storms Don't Last

Friday, June 18, 2010



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.
 Psalm 107:28-30
Today storms moved through northern Illinois. Everyone knew about the storm coming up, because the National Weather service has issued a severe thunderstorm warning until 7 p.m. for all of the Chicago area.
At first the skies were dark, then wind came sweeping down, and at the end heavy rain lingered awhile. It lasted only for approximately 5-10 minutes, and moved on to other areas.
Storms come up suddenly and usually don't last long. 
Some neighborhoods are out of power due to severe storm, and our home belongs to one of them.
It is Friday so our fridge has little food left. I am glad we have only shrimps and chicken to throw away.

When evening comes, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,' and in the morning, 'Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. Matthew 16:2-3

Cute post Vlatka! Funnily enough, I went out after the storms and took pictures of all the trees that were torn apart because I was thinking of how so many times we think we are strong like an oak, but unless we are grounded in Jesus Christ we can be snapped in half with the first gust of wind that blows. Thanks for your blog and keep writing!
