Safe in the storm?

Do you feel safe and protected when you're going through a rough time; when you know that God is in control?  Or, do you feel safer when you're comfortable and life is easy?

Lately, I've felt safer in the storm.  When things are going good and everything's quiet and peaceful, it’s a little unsettling.  I've had several times in my life where it scared me to be comfortable; to be satisfied with where I was.  Why?  Because when things are comfortable and easy, I get lazy; complacent, when it comes to God.   

Do I like being in turmoil?  No, but it is the most amazing gift in the world to know that when you're going through a storm, God is in the middle of it, and above all, He has control of the situation.   Trusting in Him is the key.  Do not give up.  Give God the praise in every storm.   

Trust in God.  Show Him how much you depend on Him.  He's the only one where we can find complete and lasting refuge in the storms of life.

Proverbs 3:6 - "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths."
