Safe during a hurricane
While vacationing on an island, my sister and nieces and I began hearing weather reports alerting us that a hurricane, originally expected much later that week, had intensified and was fast approaching landfall. The island was under a severe weather warning; the wind had intensified, and the waves were threatening. Our airline called, reporting that our flight had been moved up in an attempt to get travelers out safely ahead of the storm.
At first I was anxious, but then I remembered the copy of The Christian Science Journal I’d grabbed from my mailbox as I was leaving home.
I found a quiet place where I could read and opened randomly to an article titled “That ‘still small voice’ of God: Too small to speak to extreme weather?” by Don Griffith (September 2009). How grateful I was for this specific spiritual message that exactly met the immediate threat! The author wrote with wonderful clarity about our ability to speak with authority to any destructive condition and annul it with God’s ever-present law of harmony. I especially appreciated this idea: “Knowing, and holding to the fact that weather, spiritually discerned, is the creation of God, Mind, is an effective, practical antidote for untoward conditions.”
