Destructor: One way or another!

As I peruse facebook status updates and look at the local newspaper website - I get the feeling that some in Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo are tired and sickened by what some are calling a flood-blizzard day. The Red River is on pace to crest at a record level Saturday morning. The crest will last 2 to 3 days. The town has been in a crazy mode of sandbagging all week - and today we woke up to 6 to 8 inches of snow.

Some are asking - "when will this ever stop?" Some are calling it "BLIZZFLOOD-'09"

This points me directly to God and His Glory and reminds me that God will have His glory one way or another. God has been doing whatever He wants, whenever He wants from the beginning of time - and this trial in F-M will continue to bring God glory! See the words below from one of my favorite songs of all time called "Destructor" - also a great meditation on the upcoming Good Friday we will observe

Verse 1
From the first time You flooded the earth
To the last time You burned off the curse
To the way that You hated Your Son
When you hung all the sins of the world
Bridge
Holy, Holy
Chorus
Heaven will disappear with a roar
And the host of God will come to destroy
Sin is a declaration of war
God will have HIS GLORY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER
Verse 2
In reverence we'll come to Your throne
Indebted to Your Holy son
The ripe vine of the earth will be crushed
And Your light will shine over the world
"
