A while back, during a storm the power had gone out at my house. Usually, it would irritate me because it always seemed to go out on my side of the street while the houses on the other side would continue to have electricity. So, when the power went out the first words out of my mouth was “not again!” Getting upset was not going to make the power come back on and since it was still daylight God led me to sit down and read His Word, while waiting on the power to come back on. Soon His peace filled me, and the storm no longer affected me. I had been going through a time of healing from all the abuse in my life and God was teaching me who He intended for me to be and who I was in Christ. The next morning as I was spending time in His Presence, He told me to sit quietly and wait for the Power to come. His Power can bring healing and restoration to a tormented soul. It was so good to just sit in His Presence. He used a storm to show me how to wait for the peace. In today’s world it doesn’t take much to get us out of whack, to get us upset and irritated. But if we would just spend time in His Presence, He will restore us and bring peace to our ruffled feathers. He will bring healing from the pain that life seems to bring to us all too often. His power strengthens us to stay calm even in the midst of our storms.
