Through the storm to still waters

“Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me” (Psalms 139:7–10).

Over the years those comforting Bible verses have come to my thought so many times. They’ve brought me comfort and assurance that God would always be there, caring for and protecting me as well as my family. This was proven true a number of years ago when my husband and I found ourselves in a very rough and dangerous storm while on a boat trip to Mackinaw Island, located in Lake Huron, in our new Cabin Cruiser. 

We were attending a real estate convention there, while our children were being cared for by a dear friend. Our 10-hour trip up to the island was beautiful, with the sun shining and the water perfectly calm. After a couple of joy-filled days on the island, it was time to head home to our children.
