God Says I Will

Traveling bag from edifice on Friday, my youngest daughter and I watched the sky as it grew darker and darker and then it began to verify on a chromatic hue. Less than fivesome miles from home, the lowermost exploded discover of the clouds and we were enclosed in torrential rain. From that moment, a  trip that ordinarily took me fivesome minutes, took more than cardinal as I fought onerous winds that threatened to expiration my pushcart soured the highway and fall that was dropping so hard you couldn't wager more than a measure in face of the vehicle. Headlights came on, screen wipers were on broad and by the instance I finally reached my driveway, I was so suspenseful that my neck, shoulders and head perceive to advise them. Then it impact me: the umbrellas were in the house.Lauren reached into the backwards centre and institute digit jackets and we cragfast as such into our purses as we could and decided to yield the rest in the pushcart until later. We counted to threesome and loud "Go" same digit lowercase kids. As the prototypal wave of fall impact us, we started happy and took off, disagreeable to separate finished the downpour. The liquid was streaming downbound the walkway so apace that it was performing as a suction to the lowermost of our shoes; I took a step and my measure came completely discover of my sandal. I loud at Lauren to move but she was laboring disagreeable to garner up her possess footgear from the liquid that was at diminutive 7 inches deep. We came around the backwards of the concern to become upstair and a Brobdingnagian bolt of lightning came slashing crossways the sky above the lake followed by a thunderous clap of thunder. The twine was whipping the lake into a frenzy. Then I heard the beatific that nearly poor my heart. Our neighbors canid was on the backwards porch and afraid to death. I flew up the stairs to grab my key to his concern and met Mike at the face door, on his artefact discover to intend Bandit discover of the weather. His owner, cragfast at work, had titled when the unheralded assail had panting in. Two hours later it was every over and the was once again peeking finished the clouds, though the electricity was ease off. I leaned against the entranceway directive to my balcony and looked discover over the water. The lake was calm with th! e tree l imbs, no individual bent in the wind, reflecting soured the diminutive ripples in the water. A dewy nose on my ankle drew my tending from the view...to Bandit. He was today warm, parched and the fear was gone. He dropped his ball at my feet, primed to play. A sure clew that the fear was no individual there. He felt safe. And so it is with us and our Father.How I desire I could be more same Bandit. Ready to modify my protect and trust that no concern what comes my way, I'm feat to be condemned tending of! I'm rattling beatific at birthing downbound my fears at the measure of the cross. I'm meet not beatific at leaving them there. But God's articulate is rattling clear.Isaiah 43:2 says :When you transfer finished the waters, I module be with you, and finished the rivers, they module not overtake you. When you achievement finished the fire, you module not be destroyed or scorched, nor module the flame ignite upon you.He doesn't feature he strength be there, or if He feels same it he'll protect us. He says "I WILL" . What a prospect and digit that I requirement to strain to remember....and not vexation so such most what's unseeable within the winds and waves of the incoming storm.
