Whatever the Weather

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: August 26, 2023

Al Roker’s weather map doesn’t tell the whole story…

Editor's Note: Greg's reflection this week recalls a piece with the same title back in in the scorching heat and rain of July 2018.

Drastic flooding in New England
scorching heat down in the South
wildfires in Hawaii and up north
weather patterns have been changing.
Global warming seems the cause.
And while some may plead the fifth, I’ll take the fourth.

Yes, the fourth psalm speaks of trouble
in a world that’s all a blur,
yet the psalmist pins his hope on One he trusts.
Though despair defines the planet,
he will rest in who God is
even when the world around him turns to rust.
