"One of my favorite movies is “Twister” ( suspense thriller about monster-sized tornadoes). My favorite scene is when the two main characters are running from the Twister, just steps ahead of the flying debris. They run for shelter only to find sharp objects dangling and swaying.
No peace and no shelter there! Finally they find the right place with a firm foundation to hold on to. They find themselves tangled together as they grasp each other.
The Twister comes to a stop directly over them. Swirls of debris circle around them as their bodies are lifted up by their legs from the powerful suction, upward to the Eye of the storm. There is a look of awe on their faces as they look on in disbelief; amazed at the power of the storm. IN the eye of the storm the wind and terror ceases. FINALLY! They can rest, if only for a moment, in the midst of the storm that encircles and rages around them. That is where PEACE and COMFORT and JOY is.
Turmoil and darkness all around but the Eye of the storm is light. That is where God is. He is the Light. He is Peace. He is Comfort. He is Joy. Let us keep our eyes on him during this storm.
