Ike laid waste to much of Southeast Texas. One city–Bridge City–completely flooded, 99% of homes and businesses destroyed. Trees down on homes all over the area. Galveston, Houston, Orange, Beaumont, Labelle, Port Arthur, Groves, Nederland–all of these damaged beyond belief. People lost loved ones, homes, belongings and some lost everything. Where is God amidst the tragedy?
I've seen Him. He is in the believers who have been in the mud out houses, passing out food and water. I heard Him. He was there in the storm. Not in the rumbles of thunder or the roaring of wind. He was there, whispering to me, "Everything is going to be okay."
His presence is evident. I've heard great stories about Christians being able to use these tragic events to tell their neighbors about Jesus!
God has even used Ike to bless my life. I thought I was not going to be able to go to seminary because of the storm. But because of the storm, I will be nearly debt free by the time January rolls around! God uses every situation to His own glory! And yes, the glory is His!
