Emphasis Preaching Journal

A young minister had been invited to a rural church for a revival and he spent the night at the home of one of the farm members of the church. He had just gone to bed when the wind began to blow fiercely and a hard rain beat upon the tin roof of the house. The wind caused the old house to creak and sway and the minister feared it would collapse at any moment. He got out of bed and dressed, praying and preparing for the worst, but the house did not fall. The next morning the minister shared his fears with the farmer and asked how he could sleep so soundly in such a storm.
