I have a cousin in Texas, and on Facebook, she had an April post of a beautiful picture she took of an Easter rainbow. Rainbows make me think of floods.
I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and in June 2008, we had a flood. The Cedar River rose, and rushed over everything in its path. A nearby park pond charged toward our neighborhood, crossed two streets, pounded our back fence, and easily pushed through debris like logs from a neighbor’s recently chopped tree. We watched the logs float by in our side yard. The water raced across our street and into another street.
I have a friend that experienced a flood too, and she told me she thought after Noah’s flood, there wouldn’t be any more floods. I told her gently that God didn’t say that. “And God said…I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth…and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
I have been following news on Hurricane Harvey hitting Texas. My Aunt Alice lives in Houston, so I became concerned when I got an update on my phone today. I called my mom who let me know that the flooding is about a mile away from Aunt Alice and that her area is also in a tornado warning.
There is one mention of a hurricane in my NIV Bible. It’s the account in Acts of Paul sailing to Rome. In that adventure, there was, “a wind of hurricane force, called the ‘northeaster.'”
God knew about that hurricane long ago in Paul’s time and he knows about Hurricane Harvey. God is in control.
