The Rainbows

Today the storms of life crash around me, it envelop me and cause me fear and panic. The waves are high and vast, the thunder booms and crashes. The lightening streaks across the sky, like daggers sent to destroy. The rain comes down in sheets causing it hard to see through the darkness that has surrounded me.

But the storms do not have to win, because in every storm there is a lesson. The storm brings panic and fear, it causes us to be disorientated and in the feeling of being lost we are unable to focus our thoughts on getting out of the storm. But there is something much greater then the storm and in each storm He is present. He says do not fear for He is our salvation, He is the one that can help you see through the storm. He is reaching down and saying trust in Me. God has given us a promise that He will save us from all the storms of life. With each storm comes a rainbow and in that rainbow is hope. The sun comes out and just as the sun in the sky comes out. The Son of God has come to save each of us. There is no one that has to much bad, nor to little bad it is through faith alone that we are saved.

Today it isn't about the lightening, but about the hope for the rainbow that has is there for you. It is about the hope that we have to trust not in ourselves, but to trust in God that He will see you through this storm. That the lessons are much greater then the storm. If there are no storms in your life, then you are coasting and not pushing forward. Don't be afraid, because the sun will come out. You are not alone in your struggles and you are going to make it through the hard times. There will be calms, catch your breath, write down what you have learned and in the time prepare for the next storm by studying, reading, learning and praying.

God is there to guide you, support you and help you. Don't be afraid to look to Him in the storms you are facing, for He will see you through. I remember the story in the bible when the disciples where in the ship in a big storm and Jesus was sleeping, not afraid of the storm, but the disciples where full of fear. That is a story of our life, are we going to see the storms and be full of fear, or are we going to trust in God that He will bring us through the storm?

Our choices define who we are. Who are you going to be?
