I wonder how the storms you may be facing today are threatening your faith. I wonder if while you’re focused so much on the physical threat, you’ve missed how the storm is slowly changing your mind about God. Things we used to not even worry about or question are now anxiously keeping us up at night. Because storms have a great way of reminding us that we’re not in control, and then we forget that God is.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8 ESV)
Here’s the truth that we need to realize if we want to live a life of peace, even when life is crazy: we were never in control, even when life was going as we desired. And the God of our good seasons is the same God in control of our challenging seasons.
Prayer: Dear God, despite what storms come in my life, thank you for being the same and sovereign through it all. When I feel overwhelmed during the storm, remind me that You are in complete control and that I can lay all my burdens at Your feet. In Jesus’ name, amen.
