You are my hiding place from every storm of life; you even keep me from getting into trouble!
You surround me with songs of victory.
I will instruct you (says the Lord) and guide you along the best pathway for your life;
I will advise you and watch your progress.
Psalm 32:7-8 Living Bible
“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
He calmed the storm to a whisper
and stilled the waves.
What a blessing was that stillness
as he brought them safely into harbor!
Psalm 107:28-30 NLT
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.
The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”
The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!” Luke 8:22-25 NLT
When a storm forces you into the presence of God,
you should remember to thank God
… for that storm.
