Storms

Allow me to say unequivocally that our little boy HATES thunderstorms. If you just mention that it may storm, thunder and lightning, he is really attune. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't like thunderstorms either. As a matter of fact, I have shared before that, as a youngster, I used to hide if it started thundering and lightning.

I heard a story about myself this weekend that I was unaware of, or I had certainly suppressed the memory of. Apparently, back in elementary school, a storm was brewing and I left school and walked home (a little more than a mile). The school, then, called my Mom and told them that upon taking us out for recess, I found a way out and walked home. Hard story to believe; who would take children out for recess with a storm brewing?

Today's word is a reminder that if we belong to JESUS, we don't have to worry about storms: "Having JESUS as our SAVIOR doesn't mean sailing on a boat with no storms. It means having a boat that no storm can sink."

Whether the storm you are experiencing today is an actual thunderstorm or a storm of life, if JESUS is your SAVIOR, leading your life and your decisions, you can rest assured that He has you in His hands. He will protect you and not allow anything to harm you; He is working it all for your good, and no matter how bad it seems, the ship we're on is unsinkable.

Storms will come. Some will rage and be violent for what seems like forever. They will be trying and testing. They will be tiring and tempting to give in and give up. But, if JESUS is your Captain, the storm may rage but the SAVIOR will save. Do you have JESUS guiding your ship in the storms?

Be Blessed,
