For the past few days I've been following reports on the destruction caused by Hurricane Matthew. From 100s of lives lost in Haiti to intense flooding in North Carolina, the storm is packing quite a punch. This morning I was watching what my cousin had posted from Cape Hatteras. Her house was surrounded by almost 5 feet of water. The sound behind the island and the ocean had come together, leaving no ground without flood waters. The winds were incredible. Snakes and sea life were swimming around. It was scary to me, even if she seems to take it in stride.
I was thankful that I was not close to this storm, but we all have some kind of storms in our lives. It could be from sickness, unrest at work, relationship problems, parenting issues, etc. There's always something - external or internal, but there's always a way to find calm in the midst of any storm.
Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses, He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired have.
