Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm, hit our low-lying areas here in SE Texas on August 25, 2017. It caused $125 billion in damage according to the National Hurricane Center.
Some dear church folks were among many who were forced out of their flooded homes with only what they could carry. After two years some finally moved into their rebuild homes, and some are still waiting — living in trailers.
Yesterday another storm like Harvey repeated the same devastation in the same areas to the same dear people, and I’ve spent all day trying to find the right words to comfort them.
The best I can do is pray for them and offer the following scripture that lifts and comforts me when I need it most.
Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
