(Proverbs 18:10 NKJV) The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.
We were planning on doing some fishing last night. As we headed out to the lake, we had already checked the weather forecast and it said there was only a 20% chance of rain. That wasn’t enough for us to be concerned about.
After about five minutes of driving we looked up at the sky over the area where we were headed, only to see a huge cloud that was formed in the shape of a giant bear’s head. We were admiring it, thinking how cool that was!
After we realized that it was in the direction we were heading to, we felt prompted to check the forecast again. As we checked the weather forecast, it had changed from the previous 20% chance of rain to an 80% chance, with heavy storms, thunder and lightning! We were disappointed and knew we needed to turn back.
As we turned back and headed home, we couldn’t get over how that cloud looked so much like a bear. We chuckled to each other and thought how neat it was that seeing the cloud shaped like a bear prompted us to check the weather. And by doing so, it saved us from having to drive all the way to the lake, only to get caught in a dangerous storm.
We wondered if that could possibly have been God’s way of protecting us from wasting a lot of time, energy and gas, and also keeping us safe.
Sometimes it’s just as simple as that, paying attention to those little signs may help us stay safe in a big way! Amen.
