Storms
“Serenity isn’t the peace away from the storm, it’s the peace at the eye of the storm.”
~ Ed Martin Cruz
Storms can be very frightening realities. I have seen storms in my life, we all have. As many have, I also have seen some horrifying storms. I have watched a tornado pass over a camp filled with children during our summer camp sessions, praying that it would not touch down. I have been through some storms while on an airliner. Those were not fun. There were people panicking, people praying, people babbling.
Many people go through storms of all types. From the fires of the west to the tornadoes of central America to the hurricanes of the east, people have been affected by storms. Storms are horrifying. They are frightening. They can be devastating. As much as we wish they would not come, they happen anyway.
Storms are not just material. We can have emotional or spiritual “storms” as well. They are just as unpleasant and can unhinge us as much as the real deal. What matters is how we deal with the storm while it is happening.
To find peace in the midst of a storm, we have to be truly rooted in the Lord. Let not the storms of life shake our confidence in God. He is always there for us.
FAITH ACTION: Pray for all of those who have been devastated by storms and for all who go through spiritual struggles that God may let them know that He is by their side..
