It doesn’t seem to matter where you live today, there are numerous storms. Some of these storms are so severe that there is a lot of difficulty in even finding a safe refuge. And, no matter how you try to avoid these storms, the changing weather patterns around the globe seem to find us at some time or another.
Prepare
So, how do we prepare for these storms? What do we have to know, to learn, and to do?
Some of us can build a shelter that is below ground where no winds can find us or terrorize us. We can stock up on supplies to ride out the most vicious of storm. Or, we can buy boards to fasten to our windows, or strong shutters to lock securely.
Sometimes, we receive very little warning about pending storms or these storms develop too fast to be adequately prepared.
Life Brings Storms
Life is full of storms and some we know are coming and can take defensive action. In other situations, storms in life come upon totally unexpectedly and we are hard pressed to respond quickly or even at all. The real secret to live through these storms is to be always prepared. But, how can you always be prepared for any storm arising anywhere at anytime?
There is a way that every one of us can be armed, can be prepared, can whether the storms of life. We can rest comfortably and with complete security no matter what storms hit us head on or those that spill over into our lives on occasion.

The only refuge you will need for all of life’s storms is a true belief in God – believe that God is with you ate all times, even when the winds are severe and you do not think you can handle another minute.
