A Break In The Clouds

Matthew 14:27 

27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 

John16:33 

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. 

While driving to work all I could see was clouds, but then I noticed one spot where the sun was shinning through. In that one small spot I could see the blue sky. In all the grey clouds you couldn’t miss it. It was like seeing a rose growing in a field of weeds. In a way it was one spot of beauty. However, the farther I drove the bigger that one spot became. By the time I arrived at work it was like that small spot of clear sky had overcame the clouds. Then it hit me, Jesus is like that one clear spot. He is the one shinning through the darkness of this world. He is telling you don’t watch the world in all of its turmoil. Don’t worry about the troubles of life. Just focus on him. Focus on that one clear spot. Focus on the fact that he overcame the world through his sacrifice and now is the reigning king. Know that even though times are bad and it seems that all we see is storm clouds brewing, that just over the horizon is that one sunny spot breaking through the clouds. If you take your attention off the storm and focus on that one spot you will watch it spread and see him overcome the storm.
