There are times when it becomes easy to think of God casually, to think of Him as just something else that is in the background. Yet when calamity comes, often He is the first one we run to. I had a conversation with my 4 year old a few nights ago, and she asked me "why do we have big storms?" I thought about this for a moment, and explained that in order for us to understand how powerful God is, we need to see things like big storms and know that God is even more powerful than that. We proceeded to talk about the story where Jesus is in the boat asleep and a tempest comes and the disciples wake Him because they were afraid. Jesus rebukes the wind and they were amazed.
I was reminded of our conversation tonight while reading Proverbs 18. His name is a strong tower, we can take refuge in Him and be safe. No matter the storms that rage in our lives, real storms, mental storms, physical storms, emotional storms, etc. He is stronger than all of it, He is our strong tower and in Him we are safe!
