I love the old hymn, Til the Storm Passes By. We are all facing storms in our lives. It seems that we just get through one storm when another one shows up. Some of the storms, such as the death of a friend or family member, an unwanted divorce or the loss of a job, can rock our world. We feel unsettled, uncertain. We have a hard time focusing on the necessities. Yet we must. At these times we simply pray, “Lord keep me safe till the storm passes by,” and it surely will. Scripture tells us, “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God that keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.” (Deuteronomy 7: 9) God is faithful and will provide His holy presence to protect us if we will pray and keep our faith.
