When the storms of life inevitably come, we have to already have established a pattern of focusing on Jesus. He is our calm in the storm and has given us a peace that the world cannot understand. It is up to us to claim that peace and know that Jesus is right there with us in the middle of our circumstances. If you are like me, you may have the tendency to first look at the raging storm and then look at Jesus. I am trying to train myself to look at Jesus first and then the storm doesn’t look so bad after all. There are plenty of reasons in the world to be anxious, but there is one big reason to be calm…Jesus! Not one time in all of the Biblical accounts of Jesus’s life on earth did we see Him wringing His hands and saying, “Oh, no! The people are still sinning! The Pharisees are plotting against me! What shall I do?” He was in touch constantly with His Heavenly Father, knew what was coming and was ready for it, in His heart and mind. He maintained calm in the storm because He knew that in the end it would all work out for God’s glory. That is what our focus should be. Fixing our eyes on the Master of the storm and not the storm itself tells our heart that we can trust that it will all be okay and God will get the glory in the end.
