Storm With A Promise

20160110_155610 - Version 2
All storms come with the promise of the presence of God.

Have you ever driven into a Storm? Literally or figuratively? I have done both.

This photo speaks volumes to me. It shouts to me of the promises of God….

Not just the promise to Noah to never again destroy the earth with flooding that rainbows signify. Any promise from the word of God. Heading into places or situations where I can not know the outcome, where I am clearly not the one in control, is when I cling most to those promises.

This picture captures my experiences of entering the unknown…willingly or otherwise.

I feel like my Creator who rules over all is saying, “Come! I know it doesn’t look good from here, but I am with you. I will never leave you. No mater how hard or uncertain it looks, I am with you and will bring you through. I am lighting the way one step at a time. It is worth the risk to trust me. Come with Me!”

About the author

Andrea Van Boven (Madden): I like to think I am a radical lover of Jesus, but I live in a house and pay bills and look like I fit in with respectable society, like most people. What goes on in my head and heart are hopefully the things that betray the look of "normal" that comes at first glance. I hope those things inside of me seep out to actions as well as words of hope and encouragement. I pray that these in turn will lead others to know the loving Creator who knows us so intimately that he has a number for every hair on every head.
