Severe Weather


Yesterday as was the week before North Texas was under a Severe Weather, last week several parts of the DFW metroplex witnessed the sirens go off as some of their roofs were blown off by the strong winds. Yesterday evening when I was watching the news and monitoring the weather the meteorologist kept on warning the viewers to stay inside their homes, keep away from the windows and if possible go down to the basement area. I live in the second floor of an apartment building, we have no basement area all we could do is pray and trust God and at the very least stay inside the bathroom and huddle ourselves within the tub whenever a tornado warning comes up.
In life we go through unpredictable situations that hit us like a tornado and much like a severe weather these things are beyond our control. The only comfort that we have is that whatever the outcome of these situations ... God is fully in control and will not allow us to go through a trial that is beyond our capacity to endure.
Then He got into the boat and His disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" He replied, "YOU OF LITTLE FAITH. WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
Matthew 8:23-26
