Trusting in the Storm

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
    do not depend on your own understanding. 
Seek his will in all you do,
    and he will show you which path to take.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Things happen that we don’t comprehend.  Violence, rage, disease, intolerance, desperation... the list goes on.  A typical reaction to things we don’t understand is, “Where is God?  Why doesn’t He do something about what’s happening?”

We don’t see Him interacting so we worry.
We don’t understand what He’s doing so we doubt.
We don’t feel His presence so we feel alone.

Today, recommit to trusting God.   You may not see Him or feel His presence.

Trust Him.  He is there.

Reach out to Him... and if you can’t feel His gentle grip right away, don’t worry... He will never let you out of His sight.  He knows you hurt... He knows you are struggling... He is not worried about your future because He has plans for it and will be there throughout it.  

He is all that we need or could ever hope for.

Whether we are in the darkness of the valley or enjoying the warmth of the peak... Jesus is there for us.  

His loving heart beats for you...  it’s my prayer that you would hear it louder than ever.  

Don’t give up.

Choose to trust.


He will never let you down.
