Strong In The Storm

So the king gave the order, and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den of lions. The king consoled Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!” In the morning, at the earliest sign of daylight, the king got up and rushed to the lions’ den. As he approached the den, he called out to Daniel in a worried voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, was your God whom you continually serve able to rescue you from the lions?” Then Daniel spoke to the king, O king, live forever! My God sent His angel and closed the lions’ mouths so that they have not harmed me, because I was found to be innocent before Him.  Daniel 6:16, 19-22 NET

Daniel occupied such a place, confined in a den of lions, surrounded, yet through the intervention of God, Daniel had nothing to worry about. In the midst of a terrifying situation, he experienced God's perfect peace and calm.

The storms of life are bound to hit all of us at some point. The strong winds of adversity and the heavy rains of affliction show no respect for a person's age or circumstances. Yet in the midst of these trials, God offers to those who have placed their trust in His Son, Jesus Christ, a place of perfect peace and safety.

If you feel like a storm is blowing through your life, a hurricane of debt, depression, disease, turmoil, look to God, who is able to keep you sheltered.  Cast your cares upon Him, and He will provide a place of rest for your soul.

When you're in a storm, stay close to the eye of it. God.
