I don’t know where Ida came from or why she caused so much destruction from Louisiana to Maine. However, there is one storm that had God’s fingerprints all over it and that’s the one found in the book of Jonah.
Jonah 1:4
Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.
The only person in that storm who wasn’t disturbed was Jonah. Strange isn’t it? However, the results of the storm on the mariners would soon have Jonah in the sea with a totally different demeanor.
Why do storms come into our lives? I certainly don’t have the answers to that, but I do know that God can create a storm for His own purposes.
Give it some thought.
