In the Storm

Today, as we Prepare 90 Days for Easter (P90E), we read Mark 12 and Hebrews 10.23-25.

We are surrounded by trees at my house.  When the straight line winds come and the threat of tornadoes, those big trees can be scary.  We hear branches fly and see the shadows of the limbs blowing back and forth.  How much notice do you get when one is coming down?  They have been standing a long time and there is a reason for that, but in the storm, it can shake you up.

There are other storms in life as well.  More noise and shadows than big trees can ever cause.  What do you do?  I believe that you remember who you are to put your confidence in.  Whether is a weather storm, a storm of emotion, or a storm of personal difficulty, remember who is there, even when you don't recognize Him.  Remember what Jesus said to the disciples in the midst of their storm.  In Mark 12.50- But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid."

You are not riding through this storm alone.   Rest in The Lord.   He is with you today.
