Are you hungry? 26

The wind is howling fiercely, as the heavens fill the air with the booming sound of thunder.  Lightning cracks the sky like a whip, as the rain fall beats upon the house.  Yet inside there is little movement as you sit up in your bed.  You glance at your significant other as they lay there fast asleep.  How are they doing it you wonder, as you jump at the latest boom that to you it seemed to shake the house.  So all you can do is pray Lord get me through the night.  Finally after awhile the storm passes and your nerves settle so that you finally get some rest.  You slowly get up in the morning as your spouse is already up refreshed and ready to go, and then you hear them say, “oh I see we got some rain last night,” and all you can do is shake your head.  In life storms come up all the time, the thing about them is how do we go about handling them.  There is only one sure way to get through a storm, and that is being anchored in Jesus.  Sure the wind my blow, and the thunder boom, but in Christ there is always that peace in the mist of the storm.  People may look and stare wondering how on earth are you so calm?  You just lost your job, you just lost a love one, or you just received a letter of foreclosure.  How are they still standing, and how are they still smiling?  Ah I tell you Jesus does nothing half way, and trusting in Him will surely get you through whatever storm you’re in.  Remember the disciples were panicking as the ship was caught in the storm, and they fought with all their might to try to stay alive.  But as they struggled where was Jesus?  He was laying there fast asleep.  So they go to wake Him up saying Master save us lest we parish, and we know He said peace be still, and the storm came to a halt.  You are powerless in a storm, there is nothing you can do, but trust in the own who control all things and let Him bring you through.   Food for thought, I hope you’re hungry.
