Today while I was thinking about hurricane Irene and the effect its had on my family on the east coast. I realized just how many people are affected by the potential impending disaster, and that it could be quite a doozy for quite a lot of people. Then I remembered a line from This Hope's "This is Our God" - the waves and wind obey Him. Hurricane Irene will obey God. It will do exactly what God plans for it. Now, if His plan includes damage, that could cause some people to shake their fists at Him and ask "why?" But we can't know His ways, because we are too depraved and too finite to understand God and His will. But we can know that it is what will bring the most glory to Him. And that brings so much comfort.
