Thoughts on Thunderstorms and God's WillThoughts on Thunderstorms and God's Will
by Smokey the dog
Tonight there was a line of thunderstorms that passed through our area. I was going out to my car and saw that the rain was just pouring down as it does only in thunderstorms. I thought to myself "I am going to get wet!" Even with the exclamation point I knew it was an understatement. As I got ready to step out from under the awning and cross the street the rain started to let up. So I waited. The rain got stronger then let up some again and I thought, "I'd better go now, who knows when it's going to let up more." Well I got wet anyway. I got to my vehicle and in a couple minutes the rain had stopped.
I think you know where this is going. Conventional wisdom says "Go now!" God says "Wait for me!" If I had only waited a minute longer I would have been dry. I think we all would be drier if we waited for God's timing before venturing out into the storms of life!
