I wrote the following a few years ago:

Have you ever been in a storm? Sometimes in Life we feel like we are stuck in the middle of a Storm and there is no way out.

Jesus Promises that we will get to the other side. Luke 8:22-25

What is the other side? It is a stable place. A Secure Place. A Place of Confidence, Peace and Hope for the Future. Jer 29:11

The Other Side is that place where you know God has it all Under Control.

King David's life was unraveling and he was a mess. His family was torn apart. His enemy's were trying to kill him. He was running away to escape from his problems.

He couldn't understand what was going on. But then he went to the Sanctuary.

"Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end." Psalm 73:17

The Sanctuary is where it all comes together. The Sanctuary is where it all makes sense. The Sanctuary is the "Other Side."

Are you in a Storm right now with no way out? God promises to be with you in the Storm to get you to the other side.

Luke 8:22-28. "Go to the other side"
In vs. 24 it says, "there was a Calm."

Jesus has it all under control.

As North Carolina State Basketball Coach Jimmy V was in a Storm battling cancer he said:

"Never Ever Give Up!" Jim Valvano

God was with Jimmy V while he was in his Storm giving him the Passion and a Reason to "Win The Day" each day he was alive battling cancer...

Are you in a Storm right now? It may be financial, a death, s disease, an addiction, a betrayal, a divorce....

Whatever it is Jesus is with you in the the Storm. It doesn't matter what choices or mistakes you have made so don't beat yourself up with guilt. The Word says He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all...

As my son Josh says, "It is what it is... Accept it and move on!"

What did the disciples do? They were fearful but they accepted the situation, the fear and went looking for Jesus in the ship.

Have you accepted the Storm in your life? Are you fearful? If the answer is yes then you are in a great place. Now that you have no more you in the equation you will look for Jesus.

Jesus will not only calm the Storm outside He will calm the Storm that is inside of you!!!

Just Go!
Win the Day!
Keep It Simple!
Make it Count!

"Pain is momentary however gain is forever so keep working hard!"
