FIND THE EYE

Luke 8:24 Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water.  And they ceased and there was calm.

This morning’s song …The Eye of the Storm by Ryan Stevenson…

♪♪ “In the Eye of the Storm, You remain in control.

In the middle of the war, You guard my soul.

You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn.

Your love surrounds me in the Eye of the Storm.” ♪♪

This Labor Day, the National Weather Bureau is tracking two hurricanes approaching Hawaii and a possible hurricane tracking toward Florida.  Although I have experienced some pretty horrific storms, my familiarity with hurricanes is limited to news reports.  We have all seen the pictures of their power and destructiveness and I would prefer to be only as close to one as my sofa and television.

One of the hurricane’s distinct features we hear talked about most is the “EYE.”  Hurricanes have a circular formation around an “EYE.”  According to one description, “the EYE is the FOCUS of the hurricane, the point about which the rest of the storm rotates.”  This description goes on to state, “skies are often clear above the EYE, winds are relatively light; it is the calmest section of a hurricane.”

Even in the midst of your stormy life, get your focus on the center; do you see Him?  Jesus is standing there; He remains in control.  The strong winds of diversity may be swirling, but there is PEACE IN THE EYE.

You may feel so battered that you can’t reach the “EYE,” but there is help. The “Life Line” has been thrown toward you; grab hold and He will pull you into the “EYE.”  There you will find clear skies and light winds…There you will find REST.

Have a blessed day.  Let Jesus be the EYE OF YOUR STORM!
