God In The Midst Of A Storm
God in the midst of a storm
My husband and I laugh whenever we think of how our puppy acted during a severe storm we had a few years ago.
Tornadoes are nothing to take lightly so when the meteorologist predicted a big one was heading our way, we took cover at our house.
We gathered in our safe room with our dogs.
Our youngest one loved every minute of it.
I’m not kidding!
We could hear the tornadic winds racing outside and large hail pounding the roof.
Intense rain pelted all our windows.
It was loud and scary at the same time.
Our puppy, however, liked this new “game.”
We reassured both our dogs over and over that we would be okay.
Our puppy’s look of contentment was priceless.
“I don’t know what we’re doing here, but I like this.”
He was so cute.
I, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck and doing some serious praying until it was over.
Even in the Storm God is There
When the storms of life hit, whether it’s a literal tornado barrelling through or something else like a health concern, “contentment” is not a first reaction.
But, once the initial shock has faded a little, do we let stress completely take over?
I do know that no matter what kind of storm you’re facing, God is there with you.
Peace in the Midst of the Storm
Do you remember hearing on the news about the ferocious winter storm that ravaged much of the Midwest back in late February?
Freelance writer, Lupe Riley, was in that storm.
I’ll let her describe for you the emotions she experienced as the strong winter blast roared through her state.
I hope her encouraging words give you comfort the next time that you face an overwhelming storm, or “storm of life.”

Prayer:
Father God thank you for the calm you gave my spirit as I went through the storm. It was a threatening situation but I knew in my heart that no matter what the outcome your strength would see me through it. I praise you Jesus for this confidence I have in you. Amen.
Verse: Mark 4:39 “And he arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, PEACE, BE STILL. And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.”
