All Eyes on Irma

My boy and grandboy - 2015


"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1)

As did many of you, I woke up praying for Floridians this morning as Hurricane Irma threatens to plow through their entire state. Later, I found this appropriate stanza by Annie Johnson Flint in the devotional, Streams in the Dessert:

"Not always OUT of our troubled times,

And the struggles fierce and grim,

But IN - deeper IN - to our sure rest,

The place of our peace, in Him."

God sometimes keeps us from the storm, but God is always with us in it.

Pray without ceasing, beloved. (1 Thess. 5:17)
