Miraculous Protection!

Fire season continues to strike with early, record-setting
vengeance, this time with a raging fire in Napa Valley. The Glass,
Shady, and Lightening Fires continue to scorch and destroy many homes,
wineries, and even schools, including Foothill Adventist Elementary.
Sadly, at least one Adventist pastor has lost his home in the area. All
told, 70,000 people have been evacuated, including Pacific Union College
and St Helena Hospital, and thankfully both have been spared so far.
God’s
mercy was especially shown strong when the Glass Fire literally came to
the edge of the property located at 125 Glass Mountain Road. Since
1871, this residence has stood, and was the final home of Ellen White.
Known as Elmshaven, the home was miraculously spared from the fires,
though the homes and trees all around it went up in smoke.
Operating
manager Abner Castanon said that “an angel protected Elmshaven . . .
how else can you explain it?” Though the perimeter fence was blackened,
all of the buildings, including the main house, were spared from the
fires.
In these trying times, where one day we
have peace, the next destruction, may we be encouraged to know the Lord
Jesus is still in control and He never leaves us in the flames alone.
Please keep in prayer the many fire fighters and those who have had to
evacuate their homes.
