Not all storms are in the forecast.

If you’re like me, you turn on the tv or look at the weather app to see what the day will look like.

Most times, but not all, predictions come true. But, more often than not, some storms aren’t even in the forecast.

So it is with life. None of us can predict what will happen as we face a new day. Life is pretty sweet though when everything is going the way we want. Our guard is let down and we coast along. Until the perfect storm hits from out of nowhere.

And then we look to God and ask ‘why me Lord?’

When, in reality, we should be saying, “thank you God for carrying me through this storm.”

God is our savior, our shelter in the storms of life. Take refuge in God. Recognize where the chaos is coming from. Satan likes to cause the crashing waves to hit us, and throw us off balance, when we least expect it.

Unfortunately, there will always be storms looming on the horizon. But, if we trust in God, allow Him to guide our footsteps, then we can brave the storms of life.

Have faith, God’s got this!

Matthew 8:26 - “He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.”
