Wild and Stormy

Here in north Texas we had another wild and stormy evening. First came the wind, then driving rain and hail. It sounded like rocks crashing onto my roof, which it was—ice  rocks! With the howling wind and the hail and rain hitting roof and windows, I appreciated my little house and felt sorry for any who had to be out with no shelter. As vulnerable human beings we need physical shelter but we also need spiritual shelter. Jesus knows how important that need is and includes it in the Lord’s Prayer. Sometimes our lives can seem wild and stormy, both physically and spiritually, but we can be secure knowing he is always there. He has hold of our hand and he won’t let go!
