God's Help In Adversity (# 86)
“In one desperate
day
his possessions were lost,
His children
were all killed
in one raw holocaust.”
- Song writer, Michael Card
It
was one of those days. I had planned to
go out. It was raining but still I was hopeful. Then it happened – a prolonged period of
heavy thunder and lightning.
Not
being a thunder and lightning person I knew this was a day at home. So much for that!
It
is in these times of intense weather that we – at least I – realize just how much
we are at the mercy of nature.
With
all of the “stuff” we have acquired, it just takes one of the forces of nature
to unravel everything.
It
reminds me of Job who lost everything in a short space of time. He was truly a victim of adverse
circumstances.
And
the “if-I-could-I-would” mentality is pointless; we cannot always know when adversity
will occur.
However,
we can be sure that God will always be there.
He will always help us through these difficult times.
So
rain is no problem to God. After all, He
created it.
