Walking back from the mailbox suddenly a tiny dust devil kicked up in my pasture. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, it is a small whirlwind over land, visible as a column of dust and debris. In this case it was mostly comprised of dirt and leaves and about 30-40 feet tall. As it crossed my fence line and started to move towards me my heart quickened, although relatively harmless I was unable to outrun its path. I was destined to be in the storm. As it flung dirt in my face, and quickly passed me by I could not help but smile and think of Matthew 8:23-27. Although my storm paled in comparison to the ones the apostles faced on that boat with Jesus it is THROUGH Jesus, that I do not have to be afraid of ANY of life’s storm. Even as I continued to wipe the dirt from my eyes, I couldn’t help but laugh and give thanks.
Thank you, Lord, for always being with me, even during a dirt devil in my driveway. You are always nearby. I ask blessings on my brothers and sisters in Christ today who may be deep within one of life’s dark storms. Bring them comfort and peace. Let them feel your presence now. We know your power just as the apostles did on that boat, even the winds obey you Jesus! Thank you, God, thank you for your goodness, grace, and mercy! Amen
