As for me, I will call
upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Psalm 55:16
Yesterday I was
listening to the news about the tornados that have been wreaking havoc across
the middle part of the US. One man stated that he and his wife had sheltered in
their home when the tornado hit, it picked them both up and he prayed, “Jesus,
please save our lives”. He stated that once he prayed, the tornado dropped both
of them to the ground and they were not injured. What a miraculous story!
Today’s verse
assures us that when we cry out to God, He responds in the way He sees best. In
the case of this story, He responded immediately, which is always nice, but
sometimes it doesn’t always occur that quickly. God has a plan and purpose for
every storm we face in life, whether it’s an actual weather-related storm or
life event. His plan for each occasion will either grow our faith or touch the life
of someone else. This man’s story touched my life by giving me the confidence
of God’s reply to those who call upon Him…and I’m sure others feel the same.
Whenever you call
out to God, have the assurance His response will come at the appropriate time and
have the most impact on your life and the lives of those around you. He’s got a
plan for your next crises and ready for you to enter it with faith and trust in
Him! God bless!
