An interesting tidbit was added to the evening News recently: in the same month last year we experienced record drought and record rainfall, unusual for Virginia.
I observed another record; in well-documented History. God has provided for His children 2006 years straight (and only Heaven knows how far back into antiquity the record stretches). What a record! God delivers some from flood and drought! God delivers some while in flood and drought! God delivers some while they are dealing with the effect of flood and drought! Hurray for God!
"Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him." (Psalm 32:6 NIV) David said "The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land (drought stricken) and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden." (Isaiah 58:11 NIV)
Drought and flood have been totally destructive to people. When it was over, they gave up, there was no will to go on. No desire to reclaim or fix up remained.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NIV) speaks to victims of both flood and drought. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes, its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
Some weather patterns are ancient, some seem to be recent. A lot of changes are charged to "El Nino." All predictions are pointing to a difficult winter. (Note: Denver, 2007) The destructive power of extreme cold and deep snow are on the horizon. Again we will be challenged by the elements. Is your God up to the challenge?
"God I believe in your track record of caring for folks. Regardless of the type of
storm You are the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. Thanks! Amen"
