I get a lot of joking about being in the middle because my name is Malcolm, sometime though I actually do instigate it. Yesterday the enemy decided he was going to try and disrupt my life a little bit by creating a small storm in our lives. I won't go into any detail because it's not important. What is important is how we handled it.
At first there was some anger and some amazement at the situation. After that and some prayers and calls to some friends, a peace began to settle over us. It was similar I think to what the disciples encountered in the boat with Jesus. When the storm came up, they panicked a little a got off track a bit. They woke Jesus and He eventually told the storm to calm and they went on about their business about the boat and the journey at hand. ( My interpretation obviously )
After we had prayed, the Holy Spirit came and gave us a peace in the situation. As we talked last night I mentioned to my wife how if was very awesome to be sitting in the middle of a storm in our lives, yet we were at peace because the Holy Spirit was covering us with his love and grace.
The middle of a storm is an ok place to be when it's the Holy Spirit who clears the path for you.

I love seeing God's active hand upon our lives when things are are crazy! For him to come and give you peace so quickly is amazing! I remember pastor Ross saying something that really helped me, "Being in God's will is always the best place to be, but sometimes the hardest" Thanks for this post, it reminds of what I already know and helps me remember where God has brought me through!
