The Calm in the Storm

Well, I know that it can be a bit strange to leave a job in the middle of it and making good money. I ask myself at times "why did I do this?" Yet there is a voice, the Holy Spirit saying that I did the right thing knowing what was going on. I know it is not perfect, though I have thought about how everything went and realized I could not continue in that situation. I will not go in to much of the particulars.

The reason I say this is that when God asks you to go a direction that might not be comfortable for you or even a place where it might be a hard road, do you continue down the easy? In Psalms he says that,

Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;    they saw the deeds of the  Lord , his wondrous works in the deep.    For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.    They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;    they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end.     Then they cried to the  Lord  in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.    He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.    Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.     Let them thank the  Lord  for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!    Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

Psalm 107:22-32

God raised the storm yet he still saved them. Sometimes the storm is to show his grace. So when you are in a place of hardship, know he is there. Christ will always be where you are, his plans are great.
