Day 2-Thanking God For His Protection- Awesome Power of God!


"A large E-F3 tornado (pictured above) with peak winds of 150 mph, 
ripped though the area last month, 30 mi. to the west of our home.
 It destroyed a house, and damaged another. This particular tornado was on the
ground for about 15.5 miles.

 We were shopping in a neighboring city at the time,
and the sky was very dark and stormy. We decided to head home a
different way, and praise God...Otherwise we would have headed into part of the 
storm! The hail here in the Midwest is known to reach the size of baseballs
(or larger), and tornado's and severe weather are not uncommon.
But, thankfully we know the One who is in control of the weather
and the storms! I am thankful for His protection that day, last month, 
and also for the previous month, when a tornado was spotted
 in the field behind our house! We experienced hail, high winds,
 and a power outage for almost 2 days... Day-2-Thanking God for His
 compassionate protection and care!"

Fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling His word: Psalm 148:8

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit
 the wicked: the LORD hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, 
and the clouds are the dust of His feet. Nahum 1:3 

  Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children: Let them praise
the name of the LORD: for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above
the earth and heaven. Psalm 148:12-13

Yes, the weather has been very severe this year. Especially with all the flooding, in Texas, Tennessee, Kansas, etc. Not to mention the major earthquakes in Nepal! Just need to keep thanking God for His protection, and trust in Him for continued safety!

Thought I'd share Psalm 91 on here:

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. Psalm 91
