Created to Withstand All Storms
“They’re back!” I shouted with joy to my husband as we were
driving by the thick grove of alders along an estuary nearby our
home.
I stared in awe at the large rookery of nests
built high atop each tree by the great blue herons. “How on earth did the nests survive our record rainfalls this winter and that huge gale force wind that took down so many trees this April?” I asked Bill.
He said with a smile, “Easy, it’s God who taught Noah exactly how
to build a weather proof ark, and it’s God who taught the heron how to build
storm proof nest.“
“I shall remember the deeds of the LORD; Surely I will remember
Your wonders of old. I will meditate on all Your work and muse on Your deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy; What god is great like our God? You are the God who
works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.” Psalm
77:11-14 NISB
By each Word of promise in the message God in our
Bibles we can depend on Him for strength, hope an faith
which will grow stronger and stronger every day of our lives.
Board by board directed by God, Noah nailed them
together to build an ark which was able to survive the
greatest storm in history. And stick by stick a heron build to
build a nest in a tree created to withstand all storms too.
So let us be encouraged by God's examples in
nature, of His great wisdom and power and love for us in all areas and
seasons of our life. For its true, He knows our needs before they are
spoken and He is faithful to stand beside us through every storm, to sustain
and hold us tight to Him through them all.
“How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource. We
go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms
of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
