Have you ever been in the middle of a major storm or watched the news where they showed pictures of one?  Wind blowing intensely, rain beating down and the trees should be bent almost double.  Watching it you wonder why the trees haven’t just toppled over.  How can they stand up so tall?  I sometimes wonder if trees ever get a case of whiplash…

I don’t know about you but I have sometimes felt like that tree in the storm.  Battered, bruised and ready to just topple over because of stuff that is happening to me and around me.  Don’t understand why it’s happening, just know it is.  Then in the middle of all that, I remember Who I am anchored to.  I remember where the roots of my faith get their nourishment from – Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the answer.  He is the calm in the middle of any storm, no matter how big or how small.  I am planted in Him and nothing or no one change that.   He is God!  He is awesome.
