"Are you in a storm?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

During Operation Iraqi Freedom, there was a horrible sandstorm one day, the worst in a hundred years some say, and a drenching rain followed the next day. American troops bogged down and couldn't move out. All of a sudden, the military operation was in jeopardy.

But then the weather cleared, and the Marine group that was mired the worst looked out at the plain they were just about to cross. And what did they see? Hundreds if not thousands of anti-tank and anti-personnel mines were uncovered by the wind and then washed off by the rain. If the Marines had moved out as planned, many of them would have died. But because of the storm, they simply drove around them and let the demolition teams destroy them.

So what storm is going on in your life? What’s causing you to bog down, to feel like you can’t move out?

God brings some good out of everything, even the storms of life. So the next time you’re in a storm, look around for something good. Then listen to life today and make a life, not just a living.
