There were no clouds the sky was bright blue, the sun cascading through the trees cast shadows of splendor over the landscape. The song of birds filled the air with their melodious chirping, the miracle of creation displayed in every direction. How majestic is the handiwork of the Creator, everywhere signs of His love is presented to the eyes. Suddenly the gentle breeze becomes a strong wind and dark clouds fill the sky. In a distance the sound of thunder is heard, a storm is coming.

Life has a way of interrupting our sunny days with strong winds of change; in the twinkle of an eye the rain falls and the thunder roars, these storms are from the enemy of souls; he takes every opportunity to shatter the image of God’s beauty in the eye of mankind; but, after every storm a rainbow appears. This is Gods message to His people He has not forgotten His promise too never destroy the world again by water. In every life there will be strong winds and raging seas.

We have a champion that can speak to our storms saying peace be still, the enemy will be defeated and all of his attacks overcome when we commit our lives to Jesus the Christ; our great Shepard, under His wings we find shelter. By His blood we are cleansed from the stains of this world and given new life in the sunshine of His love. We no longer walk in darkness, all darkness is eliminated by the light emanating from our savior and redeemer.

As long as there is life in the body we will encounter many stormy seas, strong winds will continue to blow, but; we can rest assured that we will survive the onslaught of the enemy because greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. Angels that excel in strength will protect us from the evil of this world. Jesus, their commander will give them charge to keep us in their watch care; He loves us with an everlasting love and will never leave or forsake us. He left His throne in heaven, walked among men, shed His blood on a hilltop and was buried in a grave.

The chains of death could not contain Him and He rose to life again; taking death captive and providing forgiveness for our sins.
