The Storms of Life

“The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.”
Psalm 9:9 

“Everyone is either coming out of a storm, in a storm, or headed for a storm.”

-- H. Beacher Hicks

No one escapes the storms of life. They are designed to build our character and draw us close to the Lord. The pressure from these storms can be immense. However, it doesn’t matter, how great the pressure is; it only matters where the pressure lies. See that it never comes between you and the Lord -- then, the more it presses you, it presses you closer to Him. 

Thought for the Day:
“Storms make oaks take deeper root.”
