What many people find amazing about tornados is the calm immediately before the storm hits. It baffles the mind that only seconds before a devastating natural disaster strikes, there is a stillness and quietness that flows like the waters of a gentle creek. A strange and unexplainable peace settles in. You know, we all face storms in our lives. Not all of them are the natural disasters like the one my hometown faced.
Storms come in many shapes and sizes.
Other times the storms come in the form of illness, much like a hurricane, beating and pounding and continuing on and on, seemingly never ending. Like I said, many people find it amazing that there is a calm before the storms. You see, if you know Jesus Christ, there is no need to fear the howling winds around you. A strange and unexplainable peace settles in, a peace that passes all understanding. Whatever storm is raging around you this morning, know that you have a great and mighty fortress in the Lord.
