What a merciful and loving God we serve!
We in the Northeastern states were warned about this very terrifying blizzard that would start on Monday (1/26/2015) and end on Tuesday (1/27/2015). We were also told that this storm would possibly dump over 2 feet (you read right! 2 feet!!!) of snow and would affect parts of Pennsylvania all the way up to Maine, but so far, most of us have been spared from the storm.
Weather prediction is just that; a prediction. With all the advancements in technology and radar equipment, sometimes the weather professionals may still be incorrect in their assessments of a weather situation. But more than that, I believe GOD steps in and intervenes many, many, MANY times. I thank God for toning 'Juno' down and allowing us to retain power and heat throughout the storm. I also thank HIM that our snow totals were below the predicted numbers, and that we were safe. While others may jeer and chide at the weather folks and governmental officials (who ordered mandatory shut-downs of all mass transit lines), I believe time and time again, The LORD steps in and calmed the storm! Amen!!!
Just wanted to praise HIM and look at a few places where His Merciful Nature is mentioned in Scripture:
- Exodus 34:6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
- Deuteronomy 4:31 (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
- Psalms 37:26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
- Psalms 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
- Psalms 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
- Psalms 117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Praise ye The LORD! Thank You for protection and bringing us safely through the storm!
