Hurricane Irene rages outside... By rages, I mean it's raining pretty hard and it's windy. John and I met up for coffee downtown only to discover that City Dock was without power. So we took a long stroll during the beginning of the hurricane. We walked all around ego alley and across the bridge into Eastport. Ok, it was definitely windy up there, at point the rain felt like ice pellets (Ouch) and we were soaked. What a blast!! I had on rain boots and my rain jacket and so it felt like being in Addis Ababa, only it was Annapolis, MD. A moment of home away from home... in my hometown :)
Psalm 31:5 says, "Into thine hand I commit my spirit; thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth" Spurgeon writes, "His spirit is his most valuable treasure. If this is safe, all is well... All things are safe in Jehovah's hands." No matter how powerful the storm rages (Irene or just simply the storms of life), if we have committed our spirit into the Hand of God, we are safe and all is well. Thankful for a God who weaves reminders of His sovereignty and complete power into unexpected places precisely when they are needed!!!
