And The Waters Receded
Genesis 8:13-14, “….and Noah saw that the water receded from the earth….”
The last week for all of Metro Atlanta, particularly Paulding Co., Douglas Co. & the Austell area have truly been awe inspiring. It is amazing to see something that we are so dependant upon as water, become such a natural force of destruction. For my household, we have merely experienced a little inconvenience, some leaks in the roof and the frustration of bored children who don’t know what to do with this break from school. But for many, the past week have been much more than an inconvenience.
The prayers for God’s grace & mercy for those who have suffered should be constantly before us. We should also be mindful of every opportunity to be Jesus to the many we come in contact with who are in need.
