Through The Calm And Through The Storm

It is about 8:35pm here at C3. We just ended rehearsal and I walked outside with some friends to see the storm clouds approaching. It just got me thinking here in the last few minutes. The clouds look ominous and pretty scary on the horizon. Sometimes that is like our lives. We look out over the horizon and all we can see are dark clouds and a storm. But as I looked at the scene and it was right at sunset, it was also beautiful. I was also thinking of the song that we sang tonight in rehearsal and that we will sing on Sunday. This song is truly one of my new favorites. I have even commented on it in a blog before. The song is "You Never Let Go". The words of the chorus are:

O no You never let go through the CALM & through the STORM. O no You never let go every high and every low. O no You never let go, Lord You never let go of me.

The beautiful part of the storm is that God never lets go. He is the same God that holds us in the calm and through the storm. He never changes, He loves us the same in the calm and in the storm. He is in control in the calm and in the storm. He knows our future in the calm and in the storm. We don't have to worry when we see the storm on the horizon or if we are in the middle of the storm or even if we are in the calm. Because God never lets go. What a great thing to think about on this stormy evening. With God even a storm can be beautiful.
