This photo was taken near Denver Colorado where there happened to be a tornado watch. I think the danger was over by the time I got out for a walk because this was the most threatening cloud I could see. Earlier there was some thunder and heavy rain.
It is hard to see but there is a small creek in the rocks that was fed by the rain. The next day, the flow was greatly reduced.
In our spiritual lives, we have storms. God lets us know that we can lean on Him during these times. I see other Photo Parable entries used verses from Psalms this week. Here is another one that I like.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 18:2
I like how God describes Himself as a fortress, like He is ready and waiting to give us shelter.
