The power of God is revealed
to us in many ways. We recently saw what He can do with a simple breath. He
conjured a super Derecho and it knocked down thousands of trees and revealed
our weakness in the presence of God’s great power. Our seeming strength is an
illusion and if we are not careful we get caught up in the illusion thinking we
are safe and protected from calamity. We may think this because we have fine
homes, good jobs, a decent bank account or a good retirement fund. But the fact
of the matter is that we are dependent upon God at every little turn of our
lives. Were He to remove His blessing and protection for even a moment, we
would find ourselves utterly helpless.
I, for one, am thankful that He has graciously revealed this
to us and that He has protected us Providence saints in the midst of this
storm. Let us confess our tendency for self-reliance and once again cast
ourselves into the caring hands of God, our Savior.
