A Killer Storm and a Calm Captain - #6039
There is not one thumb-breadth of this universe that is not under His control! And whatever has come into your life has had to pass through His hand first. He's either sent it or allowed it. And He loves you and He knows what you need and what you can handle, so long as He is at the wheel.

You probably feel it where you are - the pressure to compromise just a little on the truth, or on your purity, or on your allegiance to Jesus.
