Storms
There is the threat of thunderstorms today, as there has been all week. When I was contemplating the amount of storms raging in this area this week, and how much of an interruption they have been to my plans, I was reminded of how the storms of life can interrupt the things of life.
Storms in the family have a way of disrupting and interrupting relationships.
Storms on the job may have a way of bringing more stress, and possibly putting your job at risk.
Storms that attack your body, such as illness or insomnia, may attack your lifestyle.
Storms that attack your mind, fear, discouragement, and doubt, may attack your faith.
Storms that happen to those around you may make you wonder if it can happen to you too.
One of the ways to not let the storms of life interrupt life, is to know in whom you believe. If you are a believer in Christ as your savior, you have an anchor to hold you and keep you through any storm.
Another thing you can do to make sure the storms don’t disrupt life, is to have a plan about how you will handle possible storms. If you plan your reactions to the things that could throw you off, you will have more staying power. It will be a storm shelter of sorts.
Living through a storm may change some things, and there may be challenges along the way. Knowing you will make it through the storm, and be a better person, having learned how to handle the storms better, will carry you far.
Storms, they happen sometimes with no warning. But when you have your faith, and you have your plan, you will go through them and be stronger when the next one comes along.
