Our Solid Rock in Every Storm


Matthew 7:24
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

In the midst of a storm, all of our once solid dreams begin to crumble around our feet. We are helpless to stop the storm, and we can only stand back and watch as its fury starts to wash away all of our hope.

But as the storms of life pound at the walls we have erected around us, and as they endeavor to destroy all we've worked for, we can have hope and joy knowing that there is One who is above all else, One who controls the storm, and One who will lift us unto a high place! Proverbs 18:10 "The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."

No longer must we fear, no longer must we cry out in despair! Trials will come, even unto our own doorstep, but God is greater than any storm that life may bring! He will keep us and provide us with everything we will need to conquer the hard place we find ourselves in. When we are in the desert, He will provide shade and water; when we have fallen, He will lift us up and carry us; when we turn and run to Him, He will take us by the hand and walk beside us every single step of the way. Never must a Christian fear what the future may bring, for "... we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God..." Romans 8:28

So when tempests come, and when the winds beat against your door, turn to the Word of God that you have hidden in your heart. You will find strength and perseverance to go out in the Lord's name and He will shield you and keep you. He is your Rock, unmovable in the midst of an ever changing world.
