An elderly couple was saved from the rising flood waters in Houston. When family members went back to the home to clean up….they found something truly amazing.
As recovery efforts forge on after Hurricane Harvey, one woman has shared the amazing verse that she found in an open Bible in the middle of her in-laws’ storm-ravaged Houston home.
It has been reported that Christian ministries have supplied 80 percent of the post-hurricane relief to those ravaged by Harvey and Irma that followed.
Facebook user Ronda Rice Carman-Whitaker wrote a recent Facebook post explaining that her in-laws, who are in their eighties, fled to Birmingham when their neighborhood was hit hard by the storm.
Carman-Whitaker wrote. “[My husband] and I went to clean out their house today,” “It was horrific. It looks like a war zone.”
But in the midst of the chaos, she said that she was struck by a Bible that was sitting on the floor in standing water. When she shared a photo of it with her brother-in-law, he pointed out one of the Bible verses that it was open to, Song of Solomon 8:7.
The verse reads, “Surging waters cannot quench love; floodwaters cannot overflow it. If someone were to offer all his possessions to buy love, the offer would be utterly despised.” It’s a stunning verse, considering all that unfolded with Hurricane Harvey.
Carman-Whitaker then shared it with her mother-in-law, who had a pretty stunning response. Carman-Whitaker wrote, “She has lost everything, and this was her response, ‘Isn’t the Lord amazing. He always sends us exactly what we need when we need it.” Adding, “Praise the Lord!’”
