If you have listened to any kind of news stations of the past few days you have heard about the flooding in Southern Minnesota and right here in Otown.
Thankfully we are ok and so is our family in the area and the new house, but this is not the norm. We were helping some of our friends on Thursday and Friday due to this disaster, and there are many, many more stories like theirs. They are calling this the 500 year flood, and I have never seen anything like it.
In church on Sunday we were reading in Joshua, and it talks about how Joshua is leading and being obedient to God. It is how he told the Israelites to follow the arch covenant. Verse 4 really hit home to me this week,
"Then you will know which way to go , since you have never been there before ...."
God has been in our shoes before. He has faces temptation, anger, fear, and flooding, but we need to follow him, be obedient to him, and acknowledge Christ in all things.... because he has been there before.
I guess this has been my encouragement for me in my personal journey, but also to others who are facing many more effects of the flood. My prayer is for comfort and strength to get through this difficult time. My prayer is that those who have fear would fear in the Lord and nothing else.
