Leaving a trail of destruction over 600 miles, last week's tornadoes in the United States have the relatives of at least forty victims asking
"Where was God in all of this?"
Ten times as many survivors, with tales of miraculous escapes from exploding buildings, are saying:
"Thank God for a divine deliverance!"
The insurance companies investigating claims in the aftermath are saying "ACT OF GOD" and refusing to indemnify those who didn't have that clause in their policy.
Faced with not only a tornado but also an earthquake in the Old Testament, Elijah found God in neither. Instead, in the calm after the storm, God came to the prophet in a 'still small voice'.
Walt Whitman, the hymn writer penned these lines:
"Speak through the earthquake, wind and fire O still small voice of calm."
Whatever storm of circumstance you may be in that is my prayer for all my friends and readers this morning.
Jubilate .
