WHILE THE STORM RAGES, I AM CHANGED.
Sometimes we give up all hope; the sun and stars seem dim, the moon non-existent. Darkness. We feel as if we will not survive the current crisis.
But God. He says, "Do not be afraid." He would not say that, and it would not appear so often throughout the Bible, particularly in Psalms, if we were not fearful of the unknown, the uncertainty, the storm, and the wreck sure to come.
In the midst of the storm, it is easy to forget God's faithfulness to us, and of His promises. We forget the light during dark times.
God does not fault us for our despair. And, we do not know how our story ends. God does. He gives us His Word; His promises, and God uses our storms and wrecks for His purpose. When we let Him, He changes us, and our eternal destiny is upon us. Whatever the storm, with God's help, He will strengthen us. (Philippians 4:13).
Check out the story about Joseph in the book of Genesis or of Job in the book of Job (chapter 42). It’s up to you. What the evil one meant for evil, God used for good (Genesis 50:20).
