Facing the Storms of Life

Storm rolling in !

I think that the snow is done...maybe a flake or two will be around, but the big snow is over. The flowers are starting to come up. The birds are singing loudly in the morning. The buds are on a lot of the trees and the grass is starting to green up a little. Spring is here. 
One interesting thing about spring is that it is a very stormy season. Warm air hitting cold air, rain, wind and even a little bit of sunshine. 
Life is a lot like that. Sometimes as we go through seasons, we face storms. They may be light, they may be quick and sometime they are severe. The important thing to remember is that storms will pass. And often, after a storm there is a great benefit to the storm.
 Zechariah 10:1 says - "Ask the Lord for rain in the spring, for he makes the storm clouds. And he will send showers of rain so every field becomes a lush pasture."
The storms of life may be scary, but it's after the storm when the birds sing, the grass grows and the air is fresh. Remember - The Lord will be with you during the storm. He will be with you after the storm as well - but you need to rely and trust in Him. The rewards are three fold - peace, comfort and love. 
Have a great day friends :)
