Satisfield in the Storm

     Are there blessings through a storm? Sometimes we need to search for them during a difficult season. Has someone comforted you? Have your thoughts and discussions been deep and meaningful? Have you found a new purpose after the storm has passed? I think often the blessings aren’t apparent until much later, but having a history with God helps us to trust Him even when those blessings are hard to find.

     Let your peace and satisfaction be in Jesus. Your faith in Him will never return empty. He brings sweetness through sacrifice, beauty from the ashes, joy out of despair, blessings out of grief. Our souls can remain well, when the rest of us is falling apart.  He is there with us. He will never leave us. He loves us. He died for us. Heaven is forever. Suffering is but for a moment. His peace is not of this world.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  John 14:27

Lord Jesus,

Keep our hearts from being troubled and afraid even in a storm. Our hope and trust are always in You. Keep us peaceful even when the waters of life are turbulent. Give us contentment in You.

Amen
