After the recent storm, all during my devotions in the morning, birds graced my window fluttering all over my deck. Cardinals, wrens, chickadees singing as God is reassuring me He had my back. Reminding me, “If I feed and care for the least of these, then imagine what I will do for you my child.” Another whisper of hope from God.
Our home is surrounded by Goliath pine trees yet we were protected in the hurricane. Not a single branch fell and we had power all night…miracle. That is the power of the Almighty One for He alone controls all things. Thank you for hearing my prayer and covering us with your umbrella of protection. You Lord are my rock, my shield and protector, in whom I put all my trust.
The only remnants of Hurricane Sandy are the leaves making a quilt over my very wet ground and all the deck furniture huddled inside my porch. The trees swayed and danced but never broke-much like He asks us to do in our daily lives when faced with trials. Bend and sway and pray as you walk through the hardships this life brings, but do not let it break you, hold steady.
God is in control, always and forever, through every storm we face He is there. We may bend and sway and dance, but with God in our back yard we will NEVER break.
“As for God, His way is perfect, the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.” 11 Samuel 22:31-33
