Sometimes God calms the storm. But sometimes He teaches us how to stand in the pouring rain. God allowed Daniel to get thrown into the lions den, but didn’t let him be eaten. He allowed Peter to jump in the water, but didn’t let him drown. Standing in the storm is so much more than just enduring…it’s God’s chance to shape, build, and strengthen us as we are conformed more and more like Him. So don’t fear the storm…for they all are still under His total control.
