Rain or Shine, He’s the Same July 9, 2007 By Theresa Huff
Recently we were late leaving work due to a storm hitting our town quite hard with hail, heavy rain, and flooding. At one point, while driving down the freeway to meet my husband for supper, the rain was so hard it was almost impossible to see the road! Many people were pulling over to the side to wait it out. Being the hard-headed person that I am, I just kept driving. About two or three miles further on down the road, the rain stopped and the sky brightened.
The weather forecast was the same for the next day.
How like life this is. Some days are perfect and “all is right with your world.” On the other hand, some days just seem to be on a downhill slide—everything that can go wrong, does. The day seems like it can't be any more dark or bleak. Then when the worst of the storm crashes in around us and our world is totally rocked, we finally give up and hit our knees with an "Okay, God, You have my attention now!" Suddenly the darkness lightens. Maybe it was because we prayed, maybe it was because we had an attitude adjustment, or maybe the burden or situation actually did change and our spirit lightened. Paul wrote, “For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known” (I Corinthians 13:12).
In this life we will have more storms. When the skies brighten and the rainbow shines through, it is in that brightness that we can appreciate even more what we learned in the dark, lonely times we just walked through. Whatever tomorrow holds, we need to remember He is the master of the storm. Be it rain or shine, He is there all the time!
