As I consider our current situation with COVID lockdown until May 3, I think of that time when we waited in our home for Hurricane Ophelia to leave. The strongest gusts slightly shook our home. The water in our cul-de-sac ascended towards the front door of our home. We hoped the water would not breach the doorway. We had to stay in place and wait. We could not do anything but pray and trust in the Lord to take care of us. He did! Praise the Lord!
This morning, the Lord gave me…
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side. Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” [1]
The Lord also gave me…
“The Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” [2]
After His resurrection, “He [Jesus] also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.” “He commanded them [His disciples] to wait for the Promise of the Father…” saying, “…You shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses...” [3]
My prayer is that a mighty move of the Holy Spirit will follow this time of waiting on the Lord.
