So here is something to think about when you see a storm!!
Psalms 148:8 "You fire and hail, snow and thick smoke,
You tempestuous wind, accomplishing his word."
Yes our God he takes care of us and watches out
for our souls.
Psalms 107: 10,11,20,24, 25-29
10There were those dwelling in darkness and deep shadow,
Prisoners in affliction and irons 11For they had behaved
rebelliously against the sayings of God, 20He proceeded
to send his word and heal them and to provide them escape
out of their pits 24They are the ones that have seen the works
of Jehovah and his wonderful works in the depths 25How he
says the word and causes a tempestuous wind to arise so that
it lifs up its waves 26They go up to the heavens, They go down
to the bottoms Because of the calamity their very soul finds
itself melting 27 They reel and move unsteadily like a drunken
man, And even all their wisdom proves confused 28 And they
begin crying out to Jehovah in their distress And out of the
stresses upon them he brings them forth 29 He causes the
windstorm to stand at a calm, So that the waves of the sea
keep quiet."
I was just thinking of a Farmer's prayer today and how
God blesses it richly to reap full reward!
Today it was supposed to rain. I prayed lightning wouldn't
strike us suddenly as we were working in the field and even
though the tractor kept dying I noticed it never rained.
God answered my prayers to protect me and my daddy as
we were working. He never ceases to hear a prayer. We
were getting hay out of the field and my job at hand was to
haul hay with the Case to get it away from the creek while
Dad bailed the rest I took the bails of hay he created up to the
upper half of the field. It wasn't easy let me tell you. And then
I found this old saying from the closet as I was getting ready to
take my shower. I hung it up! There is a lot you can learn from a
farmer. Many a day, God blesses a farmer!
It says, "My Daddy was a farmer and let me tell you friends
that's one fact I wouldn't change for all the might-of-beens
cause he could have done most anything, and he'd of had success
but my Daddy was a farmer,--and I think he was the best.
My Daddy was a farmer for over fifty years
he worked our farm with sweat and blood, and watered it
with tears
I've see him work from can to can't doing all a man could do
and to make things work he did without and mama she did too
My Daddy was a farmer and like farmers, was not known
by the thousand hungry kids who ate the food that he had
grown,
but he said that didn't matter, long as his family had enough
and thanks to him we always did, and lots of other stuff
My Daddy was a farmer he said it taught him right from
wrong
he said a farmer's got to struggle to take his living from the
earth
he said a farmer lives by faith but he's got to work for all he's
worth
My Daddy was a farmer, so he's seen the power of God
to make a crop or take a crop from what we plant in sod
and many's the summer hot and dry, I've heard him call
that higher power
as he'd wipe his eyes, loook to the skies, saying "Lord, we
could use a shower"
Yeah, my Daddy IS a farmer and I guess he'll never stop
till he lays that tired old body down, he'll be making one
last crop
but come judgment day I hope he'll say, that he's pleased
with all he's done
and that he was proud to be a farmer--cause I'm sure proud
to be his son. (daughter)
