Logistically speaking, the title of this reading is right on! I believe our latest deadly storm was Hurricane Oscar that just happened on October 27th 2018. Everybody knows there Is Power in storms.
Why does God allow storms? Storms that may likely even kill people? Don't ask me. I have no idea why. God allows them because God wants to and he can do whatever he wants. He is God! The reason he does what he does I have no idea.
What we human beings need to do when those storms happen is this. Praise God! You're probably looking at you're reading or listening to my voice and making confused looking faces. Are you thinking what on Earth is Sam talking about?!
I am serious. Lift up your hands and give God praise for that storm you are in! That is what God wants you to do. I'm not saying we can't be sad about it. God is probably expecting that. Get angry and probably say some or more than some cuss words. That will hurt other people's feelings and God as well. He would probably be expecting that too!
I know it's difficult. But, believe me friend that is what we must do. We must lift up our eyes up to Jesus. That is where our help comes from. I believe a psalmist from the Bible said it best when he says our help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and Earth!
Let me end my writing with some words from my sister in Christ and founder of AMTC, Carey Lewis.
She says, " Peace is in the eye of a hurricane."
Psalm 121: 1-2
I lift my eyes up to the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and Earth.
