You will not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day. (Psalm 91:5)
I was able to attend my 35th Phish show on Wednesday night this week in Alpharetta, GA and it was one to remember! A good friend and co-worker from Albany, GA had an extra ticket, so we were able to hang out with each other in addition to both of us running into some old friends that neither of us had seen in quite some time.
On the way into the show, the sky darkened and one of the most violent thunderstorms broke as the large crowd of concertgoers made their way into the Verizon Amphitheater. The first storm cell left the area before show time and Phish took the stage. All was well until sometime in the middle of the first set during bassist Mike Gordon’s “Mound” when the thunder and lightning returned with even harder wind and rain. A first for me was seeing the band end a song abruptly and having to clear the stage until the storm passed. This was quite frightening for everyone, considering that we were outdoors and we were surrounded by metal….
After a 49 minute break, Phish came back and picked up where they left off and they absolutely rocked Alpharetta, but seeing the destruction that the recent storms in Southeast caused surely kept most folks concerned about the weather the duration of the evening.
Many people are scared of storms or even being alone in an empty house at night time. It’s when we are our most vulnerable. We can all be assured that our Lord watches over us day or night, storms or beautiful weather. He never slumbers and is always watching over each one of His beloved children.
Despite being concerned, I felt peace that the storms would pass during the show and they eventually did. It was a great time, but I am certainly glad to know that our Lord is always watching over us!
