Well as September begins, trouble seems to be brewing. Hurricane Gustav is set to begin to make its landfall tomorrow on the 1st. The experts are saying that it will make landfall late tomorrow or early on Tuesday. Keep the people who live on the Gulf in your prayers. This almost seems like we have traveled back 3 years into the past and are just now facing Hurricane Katrina. Although this storm has taken a different path than Katrina, it is headed for New Orleans now. Many have been evacuated over the past few days, but despite the fact that they are safe they must be thinking about their homes and towns. Whole cities could be destroyed by this storm, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it, except pray. Pray that this storm is not as destructive as all the experts are saying. Pray that it weakens within the next 24 hours. Hopefully the experts will be wrong, and I am sure that they feel the same way.
Also, remember that there are more storms coming and more that could develop. Hanna is still out there, and its future is unknown at the time. It will likely hit the U.S. later this week, but a lot could change between now and then. Pray that this storm will turn back out into the Atlantic and not harm our shores.
And there could be more out in the Atlantic forming as well. Plus, hurricane season is far from over. The good news is that this year has not been as bad as 2005. But Gustav could be devastating nonetheless. So pray for the storm, pray for the people, and pray for God's control over this entire situation. He will watch over those people if they will come to Him for help in their time of need.
