Coming Storm

Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)

Day one snow

Empty store shelves and preparations for winter storms brought to mind Biblical concepts this week. Advanced weather-tracking equipment has certainly increased the ability to predict severe weather and disasters. Other plans take a back seat when a potential life-threatening event looms. Did you find yourself checking with family and friends to see if they were prepared? Perhaps you invested time and money in a generator or other equipment to prepare for possible inconveniences. Debbie and her sister felt an extra measure of concern with an incapacitated parent at home in hospice; Verlin took one day to cover all the outdoor tools and wood awaiting scarfing or lap joining into joists. Hopefully, we will not hear many stories of death concerning people who did not heed the avalanche of warnings, such as those that occur during annual heavy rains in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.

The parallels to the second coming of Christ are uncanny. Unlike the weathermen and equipment that can make imperfect predictions, the Biblical description of Jesus’ return remains an accurate, guaranteed warning of a worldwide event yet to come. We have reason to warn family and friends, such as neighbors with young children whom Verlin welcomed back from Florida during a Friday walk with an invitation to take shelter at our place, should ice storms cut electrical service. Helping Deb’s dad and our neighbors pales in importance to preparing time and money to ensure others can be equally prepared to be accepted by Jesus Christ when the unknown hour arrives. Our Heavenly Father is kind and compassionate, miraculously revealing everything we need to know through Biblical prophecy and preparing us so that His Second Coming is the greatest joy of our lives, rather than a feared day of unimaginable judgment.

Come and See (Psalm 66:5)

Much of our week, like many of you, was spent preparing for the first winter storm in Middle Tennessee. Verlin completed the nursing credit units to renew his nursing license and spent a day renewing his Basic Life Support credentials. At this hour, it appears the sermon prepared for tomorrow’s service will not be shared since local services have been cancelled this evening due to the icy rain following a morning of powdery snow. Debbie praises the Lord that the hospice company delivered a hospital bed for her dad before the bad weather hit.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Pray for people who are in danger as you read this update. Lift up emergency and medical workers who continue to perform their jobs no matter the weather. Debbie’s sister, who drives an hour to her nursing job, does not expect to return home for three days.
   
• 🙏 The beginning of the CHE Internship in Ghana is days away. Thank the Lord for a special donation to our account in January that will allow us to help that project more than expected.
   
• 🙏 Pray for CHE leaders reaching out in settings closed to a Gospel witness.
