Dad's Ramblings -- Out of Control

"When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete. But not long after, a tempestuous head of wind arose, called Euroclydon. So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive."
 
                                                                      Acts 27:13-15
 
Storms come when least expected. One day the winds blow softly and the next day we are in a full-blown hurricane. Things seem out of control as we are tossed to and fro, and all we can do is "let her ride" -- letting the storm vent its fury. Sometimes we get into those situations because we ignore sound advice (see verses 9-12). But at other times it seems we are just caught up in the turmoil for reasons beyond our control. No matter where the storm comes from or how bad it gets, God is there. He doesn't always keep us from the storm, but he has promised never to forsake us even in the storm.
 
Today's Thought: God is with us in the storms of life when things seem out of control.
 
Have a God-present day. Love you.
