The Storm

As the weather begins to get nicer, the storms begin to emerge. Tonight as I was running, I looked up into the sky and saw the darkest clouds. The wind was blowing and the air was becoming cooler. One of my favorite life analogies is that life is sometimes like a storm. There are times where we don't feel like we have control, or we feel as if the waves are crashing so much that we are not going to make it through to see the sunshine again. When we feel like this, where is our trust? Are we trusting in our own strength to hold us strong throughout the storm? Or, are we relying on God and allowing Him to be our strength through all of this. Tonight during one of my devotions, the passage talked about trusting in God is a better choice than trusting in man. Trusting in man always means trusting in myself. Although I feel as if I can trust myself in more situations than those around me, I know that the ultimate level of trust can be found in God. Today, I am going to turn my trust over to Him rather than relying on my own power. When I feel let down by others or by myself, I can't be mad at myself or them, because I ultimately chose to rely on them rather than Him.
