Storms

I was watching a news report this morning about an earthquake in Asia. It wasn't all that bad (as earthquakes go) but it got me thinking about the storms we all face in life. Everyone has his or her share of storms, Storms of health, relationships, finances, employment (or lack thereof)-scenarios we didn't choose and then the "Reap what you sow" quagmires we find ourselves in now and then!

God's Word gives us answers to the storms we face in this life everything from attitude struggles to marriage breakdown; from noisy neighbors to out-of-control credit cards. You get the picture: everything!

You or I might not be too thrilled about what the Word says to us, but that's not the point! It's the truth and the truth doesn't change!

Storms come whether we deserve them or not; that's just how life goes. God's Word has the answer to each tempest. It's up to us to apply those principles and parameters to the life scenarios we find ourselves or put ourselves in. Our response to the storm is in our hands.
