God is in Charge of the Weather

"But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!" - Matthew 8:27

We are having a revival meeting with Dr. Joe Mark here at Elmwood Baptist Church this week. Most revival meetings these days only go through Wednesday. This particular meeting was scheduled through Friday. Earlier this week, we saw on the weather report that we were supposed to get snow going into the weekend. About twenty-four hours ago, the forecast called for 6-10 inches of snow in our area. A little bit of snow wouldn't have been a big deal, but half a foot or more could really put a damper on the final night of the revival meeting. We began to pray.

We had a few skiffs of light snow yesterday afternoon and this morning. There wasn't enough snow to stick to your windshield, let alone the ground. Local newscasters are literally apologizing and saying that "somehow" this major storm that was coming from the northwest was pushed south of us overnight.

I'm glad we serve the same God who calmed the wind and the sea when He was in the boat with His disciples. We have seen God answer prayer in a powerful way. Praise Him!
