The Eye of the Storm
I was questioning the conversation I was hearing and the battles I'm going through daily for my daughter Elena and wondering at the perfect peace I was feeling within as if I was not even going through this battle. Then the Lord spoke: Do you recall that hurricane "Donna" that came through at your birth house when you were just a kid? You remember the terrible storm and trees tossed down, dark clouds, rain, wind so terrible you felt you were going to perish? Then when suddenly the storm seemed to end, the sun came out, blue skies, and your brothers and sisters ran out and danced around, happy that terrible storm was gone? Then your father came out, checked damage but told you the storm was not over, that this was just the eye of the storm, hurricane and the other half was getting ready to happen. [I could not believe as a kid that this was true but I felt my daddy knew everything and was the smartest man on the earth.] Shortly afterwards the storm came with a vengeance. You are in the eye of this storm with your daughter and "I AM THAT EYE!"
I realized I am in Christ Jesus who is in the Father and now we are all one together!
A very good Troy Brewer devotional,

Storms don’t ask permission before they show up, and they don’t play favorites. What they do is reveal what you’re built on. Jesus was clear: stability in life doesn’t come from avoiding storms, but from building wisely before they arrive.
When you anchor your life in the Word of God, you become unshakable. In the Kingdom, obedience is the foundation. Hearing without obeying is like laying bricks with no mortar. It looks good for a while, but it won’t last when pressure hits.
David lived this truth. He faced betrayal from those closest to him, years of warfare, and deep personal heartbreak. Yet he didn’t collapse under the weight of those storms. Why? Because his life was built on what God said, not on what his circumstances screamed. David returned to the Word repeatedly, inquiring of the Lord, aligning himself with God’s promises. He trusted God’s timing even when it hurt.
Storms don’t destroy houses built on the Word. They don’t expose weakness; they prove strength. If your foundation is the truth of God’s Word, the storm may shake you, but it will not take you out. You were built for this.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Matthew 27:24-25
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock…and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock
Matthew 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
