REASONS FOR OUR STORMS
Today's reading: Jonah

"...O Lord, you have sent this storm upon him for your own good reasons. Then the sailors picked Jonah up and threw him into the raging sea, and the storm stopped at once! The sailors were awestruck by the Lord's power, and they offered him a sacrifice and vowed to serve him." Jonah 1:14-16 NLT

I don't know what you're going through.

That being said, you don't know what I'm going through.

But let's agree on this...

God sent it our way.

For His reasons.

In order that we might trust Him more completely.

That we might depend upon Him more intently.

That we might learn more about His amazing power and ability.

That others might come to know Him because of our storm.

Yes, maybe our storms are for someone else.

The same ones who don't claim Him as their own--yet.

The ones who are standing under cloudless, sunny skies--today.

The ones who are living happy-go-lucky lives--from what we can see.

The ones who need to see Him work--in us, around us, through us and for us.
