God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea. Psalm 46:1-2

Storm and hurricanes – it seems like every time I look at the paper or hear the weather, I read of storms.  We’ve all experienced them – thunderstorms, windstorms, and even those nasty hurricanes!  Storms may disrupt our  life plans, and can fill us with fear!  BUT, in the midst of these storms, God is there.  He is with us always!

As Christians, we are to be a lighthouse in the storms of others.  Though we may feel like just a tiny flicker, it is still our responsibility to shine.  Light dispels the darkness and many will follow the light.

We are to be a kindling fire.  A storm can be cold just as the world is cold and full of hatred and selfishness.  Our fire may be small, but we are to keep burning for others.

We are to bring bread to the hungry.  The world feeds on so many other things.  They need to taste the Bread of Life only found in Jesus.

We are to share Living Water for the thirsty.  This world is so dry and parched, tired and angry.  They need His water to really see and feel what true living is like.

If we keep our eyes on the storms out there, they will always overtake us.  BUT if we keep our eyes on Jesus – we can make it through our own storms and even help others through their storms in this life.  Be still – know He is God and can work in and through us.  Margi
