A couple of years ago in the UK we were battered by storm Doris. It howled and whistled through keyholes and any other little gaps it could find. But I put the heating up and a classical CD on and just sat on my sofa in the calm atmosphere of inside and watched it. Sitting there with all that fierce weather going on outside I thought that it was a good representation of us as Christians who live in the tempestuous world but are not of it.
The storm was so fierce and close – just on the other side of the window but those thin transparent sheets of glass protected me from it. It was so noisy but was drowned out by the music I chose to listen to. Being in Jesus protects me from the storms of life and listening to his voice drowns out the other voices. These scriptures came to mind.
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
1Peter 5:8
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. Luke 8:24
“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” J
ohn 16:33
