Sometimes trials are just unavoidable. The sun is shining, the clouds rain free, then, life happens and the thunder rolls. The clouds turn dark and menacing. I used to believe as Christians we were safe from adversity. I used to think being a child of God gave me some super power that kept me from trials and tribulations. I used to think that in my christian walk I could find rainbows without journeying through the rain. Oh, was I mistaken….. Most of all, we must know that trials will come. Yes, I used to believe we were safe from adversity, but we shouldn’t fear it. True, we aren’t immune to adversity, but we are safe in the storm. Perhaps we don’t embody our own super power that keeps us from tribulation, but we do serve a God much mightier than Super Man. We aren’t promised immunity, but we are promised safety -- safety in the storm. When trials hit your door, God may be hard to hear amidst the hum of the madness. In fact He may not even speak at all. He may just send someone by with your answer sporting a blazing pace and a smile and an eerily prophetic name like Daniel, who trusted God in the midst of fear and lions! We must always listen for swishes on our curtains and those little heavenly reminders that we must choose to see the miracle through the trial. The most beautiful rainbows are those that come from storms that rage the roughest. For in seeking out the miracle in the trial we’ll find our rainbow in the flood and God’s promises through the storm. After all, you can’t even spell rainbow without rain.
