I'm thankful that God lets the storm rage around me.
"Sometimes God lets the storm rage but calms his Child"
There are the times I want to call it quits. Say I'm through learning this lesson and that I simply can't handle the turmoil anymore. I'm thankful though that God brings me to His word and shows me comfort and truth. He makes me realize that I need this storm. I need to grow. Maybe its a tiny rain storm or a roaring hurricane, but each storm is a gift from God. Aches and pains are just part of the process of the Potter molding the clay.
I do not ask for storms, but I do want to see them as a gift when them come. Sometimes the rain blinds me and all I hear is the thunder and I do not let my soul be quieted by God alone. Instead I seek temporary fixes until I'm near drowning and only the mercies of God pull me up.
How has God taught you a lesson this year through a raging storm?
Written for Great Things.
