Storms
by Denise Hartmann-Echterling
While evacuating from Mobile to Atlanta in bumper to bumper traffic for the incoming Hurricane Gustuv, I was listening to our van’s radio to get the latest on this dangerous and deadly storm. It was at that time that I heard a commercial on the radio advertising for the insurance company Allstate.
The commercial said, “You don’t need to face these storms alone, Remember, Allstate is always by your side.” As I sat in this almost standstill traffic, I felt quite alone. Mike was in Nigeria and I had the responsibility of protecting and caring not only for myself, but for Michelle and my 84 year old mother.
This incoming storm was to have a major impact on New Orleans, Mississippi and the Mobile area and with the jammed interstate traffic, I knew that I was not the only person running from the storm and away from the coast and Hurricane Gustuv. This commercial would not go away in my mind.
I started thinking how that if I replaced the name Allstate with the most powerful and loving name in the world - then the commercial would apply to you and me. What is that powerful, wonder-working name? That wonderful name is ALMIGHTY, the Ever-Present and LOVING God that created the Universe. If we lived our lives knowing that Almighty God is ALWAYS by our side, no matter what the situation or storm maybe, then the storms that will come will never overtake our lives.
Now, your storms may have different names cancer, lack, divorce, depression but the name of Jesus is above ALL other names. We need to remember (especially me) that Jesus is with us in our boats, even in the midst of our storm, and He is speaking PEACE to the storms that try to sink our boats. Jesus said, “I will NEVER leave or forsake you.” That is His promise to us!
So the next time you feel the waves coming into your boat - remember, you will NEVER have to face any storm alone. Our loving God, ALMIGHTY is ALWAYS by our side, protecting us and guiding us to the other side of the shore.
