Introduction
6853 Vine Clings In Fiercest Storm
Biblical Background
The vine clings to the oak during the fiercest of storms.
Although the violence of nature may uproot the oak, twining tendrils still cling to it.
If the vine is on the side of the tree opposite the wind, the great oak is its protection: if it is on the exposed side, the tempest only presses it closer to the trunk.
In some of the storms of life, God intervenes and shelters us; while in others He allows us to be exposed, so that we will be pressed more closely to Him.
