A few years ago furious winds burst from the gulf coast, whipping our house and others with the sound of a freight train. My husband watched TV past midnight, tracing the havoc of Hurricane Ike in Southeast Texas.
Unable to stay awake, I went to bed singing “Keep Me Safe Till The Storm Passes By”.
In spite of windows over the head of the bed, I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face. It was the darkest (black dark) I had ever experienced.
Mid the scary noise outside, I went to sleep, trusting the Lord to keep us safe and He did.
Whether the weather or problems, the best we can do when storms rage about us is run to Jesus for refuge and cling to Him until the storm passes.
Isaiah 25:4. For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall
Since then, when we sing “Till The Storm Passes By” at church, and I am playing the piano, I bang the keys with passion, remembering Hurricane Ike.
