Be Still and Know

As I sit and write this blog, it is raining cats and dogs and I believe my house is going to shake away because thunder is cracking outside. Several people I know were without power and it has been a 5 hour storm. I was driving home tonight and could barely see the road in front of me because of the sheets. Lightning was flashing and water was all over the road. Then I safely pulled in my driveway and ran into my house where I got drenched on the way. I opened the door and I realized I was safe. I was dry and I wasn't going to have a terrible accident in the rain. While the storm was scary and frightening, it reminded me that God is powerful and sometimes he sends us a message to remind us that he is in control. This storm was a way to get attention. It reminds me of the verse in Psalm 46 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." This storm resembles my life right now. For some reason God needed to get my attention, and he did in several ways. God will always put us through things so that we can be stronger and more importantly he can be glorified through it all. He will put us through some things we cannot get through on our own, but with him all things are possible.
