Oh Happy Hurricane!

While many are likening the havoc of Hurricane Katrina to "hell," even this catastrophe may truly be a blessing if it drives souls to the refuge found in Christ alone. Spurgeon writes:

"In seasons of severe trial the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust, and so he is compelled to cast himself on God alone. When his vessel is capsizing, and no human deliverance is at hand, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God and God alone!"
