God can turn our darkest moments around if we choose to worship Him in the storm. He can then use the mess we find ourselves in as a message for others. God can set us free from disturbing thoughts and emotions…from anxiety and feelings of devastation…from deep sorrow and suffering. For if we actively choose to worship God in the middle of the storm – we take our eyes off the whirlwind and onto the only One Who can do something about it. If you’re familiar with the Old Testament Chapter of Job, you know it’s a story about extreme human suffering through no fault of his own. Job’s storm was huge…in a blink of an eye he had lost everything…leaving him overwhelmed and asking where God was. But just as Job thought He was nowhere to be found…God literally spoke to him out of the storm. And it’s the same for us…God is with us in the storm and will stay with us until it’s over…for all storms end. But during the tempest, we can still have peace within if we choose to worship. (Isaiah 26:3, Isaiah 25:4)
