Most are familiar with the “calm before the storm” effect, but what do we do when the storm actually hits? Panic? I do. It is so easy to relax when times are easy then go into full-on panic mode when life’s storms find their way across our paths. As I’ve read my bible and prayed, God has shown me this is not the way. Times of peace and calm are meant for us to relax, but also for us to prepare for what may come. Don’t people build cellars or store food for a time when both may be necessary? God doesn’t want us to breeze through easy moments like vacations just to get to hard ones and lose control. He wants us to prepare our hearts with His word and His light, not because we are afraid of what may come, but so we are not rattled and shaken when the storms do come.
