The Calm After the Storm

Have you heard the expression: "The calm after the storm?”

We may think of the anxiety-filled calm as we wait and watch as another hurricane looms close to shore. But what about the calm in its wake?

After the storm, the survivors have to make a great effort to rebuild and recover the valuable things they lost during the storm. And do it while grieving for the family and friends they’ve lost. And all this can lead to an existential, emotional and spiritual crisis.

 

However, after the storm a rainbow appears as well. As a symbol of hope. Jesus is our hope. And He helps us face trials and be victorious. If you’re recovering from a physical or spiritual storm, trust in God. Only then can we rebuild.
