Have you been weathering any storms lately? The storms in life can be rough. They can shake your confidence, wreak havoc on your relationships, and cause you to question everything. Scripture warns us that storms will come. When they do, meditate on God’s promises. He won’t leave you during your storm; He’ll be right there beside you.

Paul saw his share of storms (both literally and spiritually). Throughout his ministry, Paul was beaten, mocked, and imprisoned almost more times than we can count. But there was one constant throughout: he never gave up. He never stopped doing the work God called him to do; he never called it quits in the midst of a storm. Look at Paul’s encouraging words to the others on the ship with him during a physical storm in Acts 27:25: “So keep up your courage” (NIV). Paul got it. He knew, that on his own, he didn’t stand a chance against the storm; but Paul wasn’t alone.

Whatever storm you are going through, know your survival isn’t dependent on you and your giftedness. As Paul reminds us again in Ephesians 6, it’s not our battle. We merely need to stand firm and to take courage. Give your storms and battles to the Lord. He will never leave you. He will lead you, guide you, and see you through … so take courage.
