During a hurricane there is a tumultuous wind that freely blows.
It swirls around a person's home and sometime engulfs it.
The Lord is fully aware of the tumultuous wind for He is the Originator.
There was such a wind one year when we were able to be home.
The wind engulfed the home we had and if it were not for the trees it would have moved the house off its foundation.
On this occasion, I was frightened and dismayed at what was happening.
I panicked and wanted to run to the car and be out in the wind.
Having felt like Jonah I was assured the Lord was chastising me.
The fear of this day was something I will remember for some time.
I remained; in the house, and watched the wind blow the trees around us.
It was a fearful time for me but I survived the day and felt better that the Lord wasn't punishing me.
The tumultuous wind is something to be respected and I learned the lesson well.
