Today I saw a family coming out of the store. They were all walking. The pre-schooler ran toward the street and the Mom quickly grabbed his hand. A tween girl meandered a few steps behind her mother and a teen boy lagged behind them all walking to their car. Then it began to rain. It was interesting to observe how just seconds prior they were all spread out walking in their own little worlds at their own paces. Then when the rain came they all soon huddled close to their mother now opening the umbrella. It was large enough to shield them all from the rain. They huddled close together and were almost walking in unison.
It made me think that’s how we act too till a storm comes into our life. We are walking along in this life, doing our own things, thinking our own thoughts and unexpectantly sometimes a storm pops up. Some of us open the umbrella or seek shelter with our Almighty God who shields us under his loving wing till the storm passes. I’m so glad we can run to him. Not only does it protect us from the storm it refocuses our lives and our priorities. God works that way, sometimes He uses storms to get our attention.
