Weather (8) God Protects

God has promised to protect his people from the troubles that come against the people that they live amongst.

You have been a refuge for the poor,
a refuge for the needy in their distress,
a shelter from the storm
and a shade from the heat (Is 25:4).

Sometimes, God protects his people by controlling the direction of the storm and rain during a time of drought. He can control the direction that the weather moves.

He made a decree for the rain
and a path for the thunderstorm (Job 28:26)

God can determine the path of a storm. He can send rain in one place and allow another place to remain dry.

I also withheld rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up (Amos 4:7).

God has promised to protect his people during a time of trouble if they call on his name.
