During the Storm

During the Storm

The storm hit.

During Hurricane Harvey and its 40 inches of rain, friends in Houston had to build a system to channel water from their overwhelmed gutters away from their house. Family in New England had to shovel snow from their roof.

What should we do during a storm?

Remind Yourself

During a storm, remind yourself of how you prepared for the storm:

Remember

Get Centered

Pray

Repeat the steps you took to get ready. (See Before the Storm.)

Do

Do whatever the Lord is telling you: channel water away from your house; shovel snow from your roof to protect the structure; do what He leads you to do during your particular storm.

Determine

And, then, determine to:

Trust your sovereign, loving God.

Run to Him—He is your refuge.

Give thanks, for this is God’s will for you.

Be a light in your world, showing God’s truth and mercy.

Press On!

And—Press On!
