2 out of 20 - The Storm

Today has been quite the day. I was able to go to work in the morning but able to come home by 2PM. Ajo had his 1st day of training today in Atlanta. I am happy that he is safe there.

Coverage about hurricane Sandy is all over the news. The winds started picking up in intensity around 5 and has been going on for the past 3 hours. Our lights are flickering from time to time, we hear occasional banging noises on the windows from flying debris, and branches are down in our backyard.

My in-laws just went outside to pick up Ajo's mom from work and thank God they returned home safely. The winds are pretty harsh and a lot of families have already lost power. I am praying for my co-worker Susanna who lives in Coney Island area. They just lost power as well.

Jesus calming the storm recorded in the Gospel has so much to offer us during this time of uncertainty.

Mark Chapter 4 verse 39
  There is sure power in the voice of God, our Lord Jesus.

When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm

 Here is psalm 29 - A Psalm by David.
 All about the majestic voice of God

¹ Honor the Lord, you heavenly beings
    honor the Lord for his glory and strength.
² Honor the Lord for the glory of his name.
    Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

³ The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.
    The God of glory thunders.
    The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.
⁴ The voice of the Lord is powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is majestic.
⁵ The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars;
    the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf;
    he makes Mount Hermon leap like a young wild ox.
⁷ The voice of the Lord strikes
    with bolts of lightning.
⁸ The voice of the Lord makes the barren wilderness quake;
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
⁹ The voice of the Lord twists mighty oaks
    and strips the forests bare.
In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The Lord rules over the floodwaters.
    The Lord reigns as king forever.
¹¹ The Lord gives his people strength.
    The Lord blesses them with peace.
