today's forecast: stormy
Storms cause tree roots to grow deeper.
Are you in the midst of life's storms? Is it so dark that you can barely see the shelter? Jesus calms the storms. He created the storms. He said to trust Him in the storms, you of little faith. Will you trust Him to guide you through the storm to safe shelter? Will you only praise Him for the sunshine? Do not the beautiful flowers need the rain? How will you grow without water? Jesus is the living water. He is all you need. Allow Him to be your covering. Hide under the shadow of His wings. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall trust. Call on Him, and He will answer; He will be with you in trouble. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart. Lean not on your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight. Even in the storm. His word will be the lamp to guide your path. He will light the way in the darkest of storms. The storms only last for a season. After the storms have passed...you shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in due season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever you do shall prosper. When the forecast calls for storms -- remember that it is always bright after the storm!************************************
Father, remind me to praise you in the storms. Remind us Lord that in order for our roots to grow deep in you, there must be storms in our life. Help us not to be afraid, but instead to ride out the storm with you. Teach us to be prepared to run to your shelter. May we shine in the storms of life so that others can see the refuge and safety of the lighthouse -- you are a beacon of hope. I will forever praise you in the storms. Amen.
