eye of the storm

Like all thunderstorms, the precipitation will eventually cease and the strong gust of wind will stop blowing. And if you observe carefully, you might even see the rainbow that comes after that.

Common sense tells us that the rain will stop and the sun will come out exhibiting its manificent glory.

But it didn't tell us how long the rain will last.

Similarly like the storm of our life, we know that we will eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel but we don't know when.

Fear crippled us when we are standing in pitch darkness. Our cries hit empty walls echoing our loneliness. Our vision is impaired by the total darkness that surround our heart and envelope our soul.

And like King David, we cried out "Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me"? -quote psalm 42:5

My life is now in the presence of a major thunderstorm, wondering when will it go away. But God says "Put your hope in God, for I will YET praise Him, my saviour and my God".

And suddenly I find myself in the eye of the storm.

Safe in the arm of my Savior.
