I was sitting at my window one very stormy morning, just thinking about God and I looked up and spotted this tree off in the distance. I am sure for some it is just a tree but as I continued to look at it, I saw the protecting, secure hand of God. Other trees all around were snapping, breaking and falling but this tree was swaying with the wind as if it were dancing along with the storm. God was holding that tree in His hand.
All of us go through storms in our life. I know I do. At times it feels like I am going to break, snap or fall under the pressure of the storm. It's a time where there is a lot of uncertainty and insecurity and it's uncomfortable and even painful. Being in the middle of a storm is not a fun place to be. But then I look up and realize that like that tree, I am in His hands. I belong to Him and he is never going to let me go. I am secure and I will not snap, break or fall no matter what it feels like.
The storms will not end especially as we follow our Father but we have a choice. We can give up and snap under the pressure or we can dance along with the storm in the palm of His Hand. It's not an easy choice to make, but certainly worth it. Snap or Dance - you decide!
