Psalm
77:18
The
voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the
earth trembled and shook.
The
little airplane bobbed and weaved. The storm was playing havoc with its small
engines. Arthur looked out of the cabin windows. His gaze was met with pitch
blackness, but he continued to look out, anyway. He said a short prayer to God
for safety, and as he finished, a bolt of lightning lit up the entire sky. Down
below, a town was exposed by the flash, and Arthur was struck by the calm
beauty and peace of the village. The plane was closer to the ground than he had
realized, and he was suddenly convinced that everything would be perfectly all
right. A strange peace filled his heart, and he sat back and relaxed for the
rest of the flight.
The
fury of a storm can be frightening, but the hand of God is mightier, and His
hand is ever upon our heart. Though we might feel tossed around, we are in
God's care, and nothing bad can happen to us.
Prayer:
O Lord, I do not know what Your will is for me this day, but I do know that
whatever happens to me, it will be the best possible thing. Your love rules my
life, and I trust you completely. Amen.
