Dr. Mitch Land and his wife were on their way to the airport to pick up his son’s family joining them at their home for a delayed Christmas celebration. Suddenly he got a startling text from his daughter back at the house. It read, “Tornadoes have taken our house.” A terrible feeling gripped Land’s heart, similar to the one he had several years earlier when his son was killed by a drunk driver. Over 20 family members were waiting at the house, including his 82-year-old mother. The tornado ripped off part of the roof and shattered windows while four generations of family crammed themselves into a 15-foot-long hallway between the kitchen and the garage.

Hope in the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.

Psalm 131:3

“Driving in the car I didn’t know how many were going to be alive, or how many were going to be dead or injured,” Land said. “When we got to the house, we wept with joy that God had spared them.”

No matter what storms you face this year, remember that Jesus is the source of hope you can hold onto with confidence. Thank Him for that as you pray and read His Word each day. Intercede also that your local and national leaders may take hold of the hope God offers to them.
