So we just got the mandatory evacuation thing but like half my neighborhood is staying. So idk if we’re either a bunch of hard asses or dumb asses and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

Certainly #hurricaneharvey #hurricaneirma #hurricanemaria and #hurricanenate have been a multi-voiced choir. Glory to God that through the roar and thunder, we are never forsaken. #martinluther said "No one can explain why God permits things to happen. No one understands what he does or why he does it. So we should remember the lesson that Job learned: no one can summon God into court to account for what he does or allows to happen. We might as well argue with him about why the grass and trees aren't green all year long." However, we do know, because God's Word tells us, that even "in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling" (2 Corinthians 5:2) so also "the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now" (Romans 8:22) as it "waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God" (Romans 8:19). Hurricanes, tornadoes, snowstorms, etc. will happen, but thanks be to God whose power and might are greater than all things. #praying for all the victims, their families, those with damaged property, those who have been inconvenienced, that God will comfort and strengthen you during this time. And that you will sense His presence in a profound way. May all things work together smoothly under the guiding hand of Jesus Christ during your rebuilding and restoration. #quote #bible #bibleverse #flood #psalms #oldtestament #otpoetry #psalm #hurticane #nate #rdrdbiblestudy
