Joy in the storm

How do I find joy in the storm?

Thunderstorms are loud and dark and disruptive. I have a storm raging in my life right now.

I love watching storms, but only the ones I am not engulfed in. It’s easy and safe to watch from inside the house or on the porch.

But what about if we are in the storm? Where is the joy?

I think the joy comes from knowing that the storm will come to an end. Remember when Jesus calmed the storm?

I know that he is present in the storm with me, and that helps.
