Iamalwaysrelieved after a hurricane spirals away There maybedebrislittering theyardandrepairsto deal with, but the clamor of the wind ceases, and the sun breaks through the retreating bands of clouds I am also relieved when storms in my life come to a restingpoint.
Psalm34refersto1
But David realized that it was God who heard him when he cried for help. It was God who protected him during his storm. It was God who answeredhim,calmed hisfears,anddelivered him And because David knew it was Godthatsavedhim,he would continually be thankful and boast to othersaboutwhatGod haddoneforhim.

When we see the winds calm and the sun break through the receding clouds of events that have changed our lives, let us realize that it is God’s caring protection and deliverance that has brought us through. And then, let us boast about God to otherssothey,too,can beglad!
As you pray, praise God for calming life’s storms and delivering you, and commit to tellingothers.
Samuel 21:10-15, where David escapes danger by feigning madness in the presence of the king of Gath David could have attributed his close call to his quick thinking, Abimelech’s gullibility,orjustplain luck When our life storms dissipate and we begin to relax into the “new normal,” it can be easy to ascribe the outcome to ourselves,others,circumstances, or good fortune.
