This morning, it rained for a few hours and when it was finished, the screen over the pool was holding raindrops. Just minutes later, the sun burst forth and illuminated the bigger drops- suddenly they looked like hundreds of stars! Seeing God when my personal storms are raging can be anywhere from difficult to impossible depending on where I am in life. As I was reflecting on those raindrops, they were being reflected onto the calm, blue surface of the pool where they twinkled even brighter.

In the midst of the rain, sunlight transformed those raindrops into bright shining, twinkling stars… a real time and very personal reminder that our very personal God is ever present and will break into our storms in and through the rain.

Sometimes through sunlight, sometimes through starlight, God is here with us…to separate the light from the darkness… our eternal comforter and ever present companion through the storm.

Whatever the storm is today, share it with God and give it to Him.

Ask God to bring His light into the storm.

As the week unfolds, let's walk knowing that the light He sends us will break through our storms, so that we can reflect it to those around us…

" I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
