"Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction."
Psalm 119:92
Peggy Lewis watched the wind blow through the trees outside her
home in Eureka, Kansas. Then her house was suddenly caught in
a swirling force that shattered windows, gutted walls, and blew
off
the roof. All shards of wood, glass, and furniture blew past her like
shrapnel. It was a 152-mph tornado. It took neighbors time to pull
Peggy and her husband from the wreckage. All was destroyed, but
Peggy longed to salvage one possession, her Bible. “If you can find
anything,” she told volunteers, “please find my Bible.” And they did.
It had been blown a distance and rained on, but it was still intact,
as if it was indestructible.
We get through storms of life when we have our Bible.
We never know when adversity will show up. Some days
are hard to endure. When the Word of God is our delight,
we’ll never perish in affliction. The promises of God keep
us faithful; and when we remain faithful during times of
adversity, our faithfulness reveals our integrity.
"When everything around us is falling apart,
when everything we thought of as dependable,
when all that we once held dear is turned upside
down, we can absolutely count on God."
Hollis McGehee
