Last night was an amazaing storm. Huge amounts of rain, constant lightning, thunder and high winds. It was loud and seemed like one should expect a tornado siren to go off at any moment.
Amazingly my kids slept through it. No real worries. Infact they didn't even know it had rained till they saw the wet cement outside in the morning. They sleep with a peace of safety. They know mom and dad are there to protect them.
My wife and I however were up. Checking the internet (which was down...), wanting to check the weather channel (but the satelite didnt work due to the storm), and I scanned the radio (yet was unable to get any news station at all). We wanted to make sure our family was safe. Short of calling someone and waking them up we did what we could to make sure that we were not in danger. Finally we prayed and gave it to God and drifted off to sleep.
King Daved wrote many Psalms about the need for God in times of trouble and times of life that are filled with storms. We can rest assured that God hears us and answers our prayers. We need to teach our children that God is there in those times of troubles and storms. We need to make sure they know who the Rock is that they can cling to in times of trouble.
Perhaps then as parents we will be able sleep soundly knowing that our Children are safe in their saviors arms regardless of what storms come their way.
