Storm Interference

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16‭-‬18 NIV

This morning on the way to work a storm was rolling through. As I went to pull up my verse foe the day my phone's reception was pitiful,  possibly because of interference from the storm. The Bible app would not load and update. I could not read my verse of the day,  not on my phone anyway.

I immediately thought about just how true that is. There are times when we are in a storm and we cannot hear God's word. The reception is bad because if interference from the rain and wind. We just don't understand what he's saying.

So what we must do is find a way to hear him. We must grab our bible, get in our knees and hunker down and really listen. Ignore the rain and wind. We need the rain to grow. We need the wind to blow away chafe. It's not always convenient but if we are there God has a plan that will see us through.

Like this verse says, praise him in all circumstances. Praise him when the sun is shining. Praise him when the rain is pelting. Praise him when the bills can't get paid. Praise him when you get that promotion.

In all things give thanks.
