When He Does Not Calm the Storm

1. At times when we’ve been out at sea 
afloat on gentle wave, we may
 have recognized the parallel to life it gave. Our lives also have ups and downs and rarely stay the same, though as we try to flow with them we seldom are to blame. When having trouble with adjusting to each twist and turn, patience will ensure valuable LESSONS we can learn. 
2. Each wave is like a gentle prod that God has sent our way, to guide us in the right DIRECTION each and every day. They keep us on our course and help us all follow His path. With God our compass we discern exactly where we’re at. He always guides us safely to our destination when, we trust in His great power and put all our faith in Him. 
3. But what about those times that we encounter a great STORM, and when our boat is tossed about and we become forlorn? It takes such effort just to keep our concentration on, His strong and mighty power we rely so much upon. 
4. We all want to believe that He will make the storm clouds cease, but sometimes He has reasons to retain our longed-for peace. Each circumstance is different so we must completely trust, His loving wise decisions that are always kind and just. 
One day He will share the REASONS that He had behind, each circumstance and trial we had always yearned to find. 
5. When we embrace acceptance and abandon our denial, we become the wiser and much stronger with each trial. The one thing that is certain when He does not calm the storm, is we remain in His embrace where we are SAFE and warm. When the storm is over and the waves have all passed by, we’ll see His promise of a dazzling rainbow in the sky!
