In The Eye Of The Storm

â€˜There is a place near me where you may stand.' Exodus 33:21 NIV (2011 Edition)
IF YOU'VE ever been caught in a hurricane, you know it's one the most powerful natural forces known to man. Wind gusts of up to 155 miles an hour; rain up to 5 inches an hour; the ability to create waves 10 storeys high, with surges up to 25 feet wide. It's been known to level entire cities in minutes. Two components of a hurricane are especially interesting. One is the eyes - that relatively calm centre in which sinking air inhibits cloud and thunderstorm development. And immediately surrounding the eye is the eyewall, which contains rising air and powerful rain clouds. In sharp contrast to the calm eye, the eyewall houses the most powerful elements of the hurricane, including the strongest winds and heaviest rains. If you could hover above this force of nature, you'd see that the strongest part of a hurricane takes place near its centre, while the centre itself remains relatively calm. There's a lesson here for all of us. God doesn't take away all our troubles - at least not as quickly as we'd like Him to - but He promises us peace in the midst of them. Few people had more trouble than Moses. His job was to feed, lead, and protect two million people. And no matter what he did, they constantly complained. So one day God said to him, â€˜There is a place near me where you may stand I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand' (vv. 21-22 NIV 2011 Edition). And if you ask Him, today God will bring you to that place of peace too!

Bible In One Year: Exodus 25-26, Matthew 20:17-34

A LESSON FROM GOLIATH
