Finding Safety

BETTY ANN LOWENBERG

Tornadoes and stormy winds raise the question of safety. How and where? There is a way to be safe.

Storms of various kinds had threatened and damaged things and people in our area. TV and radio alerted us to be prepared. All this helped, but did not relieve the fear.

One early morning I had driven to a distant town, and was returning in the late afternoon. I had not heard any newscasts that day but had my own storm warning in suddenly realizing that the wind against the car was extremely strong. Although the car was heavy, the wind made a disturbing impact against it. Obviously the horsepower of the car could not ensure my protection. The Psalmist said, "An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength." Ps. 33:17; The author of Proverbs knew also, "The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord." Prov. 21:31; Safety lies in turning to God. God is loving, good, and Almighty. So this turning is from fearing physical power to acknowledging God as the only power.
