What happened to the cicadas? Did I miss them? Or did Iowa miss out on the mass of 13-year and 17-year cicadas that were predicted for this year? I was kind of looking forward to hearing their vibrating tymbals. I haven't heard the annual cicadas either. Maybe it is too early. The annual cicadas seem to arrive later in the year as a signal that a frost is coming in a certain number of weeks.
"So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, "This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow. They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields. They will fill your houses and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians--something neither your fathers nor your forefathers have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.'" (Exodus 10:3-6 NIV).
Cicadas have been around a long time. God told Moses He was performing His miraculous signs so Moses could tell his children and grandchildren how He dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how God performed signs so the people would know that He was the Lord. (paraphrased Exodus 10:1-2 NIV).
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending us signs, even today. We are so blessed by Your acts of healing we have experienced and the wonderful blessings that fill our lives. We are thankful for our children and grandchildren. Help us to remember to tell them about the miraculous signs we have experienced in our own lives, so that they can know You better, too. In Jesus' Name we pray, Amen.
