When the waves of life begin to overwhelm you—and they will—what will you do?
It is impossible to eliminate storms from one’s life, but it is possible to run for Shelter and find that place of sweet but powerful protection. A storm-tossed disciple can abide in this peaceful refuge until the whirlwind passes by.
It is amply clear that storms are an inevitable part of our lives this side of heaven’s shores; in fact, none of us is immune to a Category 5 hurricane as we try to carve out an abundant life while living in our earthly bodies. However, we now know that going through a storm can be a fortifying experience as we discover how to throw off panic and determinedly choose to prevail. It is in the most volatile moments of a storm that a disciple of Jesus determines whether they are going to be filled with fear or with faith. No one else can make that choice for us.
When a storm is brewing on the horizon of your life, rather than post your pain on social media and complain about your lack of resources, focus on the only One who is able to protect, defend, and preserve you. Take time to pray, read the Word, and worship.
As you wait in the impenetrable shelter of God’s presence, and as you long for the storm to pass by, you will discover within you an uncommon strength that has never before been part of your inner being. You will be sustained, empowered, and propelled into God’s purposes. His shelter is not just a hiding place from storms.
In the middle of the storm, we become more like Him, and we inherit spiritual riches we had never before known were available to us. We are changed into people of valor and destiny. Even while the storm outside is wreaking havoc and unleashing destruction, within the storm shelter, we are protected and provided with a glorious sustenance. The storm has now become our finest hour as God’s work is completed in our lives.
