Do you remember back in the Gospels when the Lord Jesus one night put His own in a boat and sent them across the Sea of Galilee, and he told them, “Go to the other side.” And He sent them right into a storm. As God, He knew that storm was coming. He deliberately sent them into the storm. Now, I personally believe the Lord sends us into a storm. And, friends, we need to remember when we’re in that storm that if we’re in His will that He’s promised one thing. He never promised we’d miss the storm—He did promise we’d make the harbor. And that’s the comfort that should come to the child of God in the time of the storm.
