Life is like riding a new roller coaster for the first time, filled with ups and downs, twists and turns with unexpected corkscrews around blind corners. Subsequently, individuals change, evolve or are transformed by the ebb and flow of trials. Nonetheless, unless a caterpillar enters the chrysalis, it will never be able to fly.

When hard times arrive. (and they will find you) there is a tendency to cry out to God, complain and wrestle with reality, Psalm 77:1-4. Whether its coping with death, illness or unemployment, there is no easy way out. However, on the day of when storms arise, Asaph provides a blueprint in Psalm 77:5-13 to help struggling souls see how great God is.
The moment you begin to remember recent miracles, times when God carried you or meditate on the works of the Lord, perspectives change. Yet, this is easier said than done. In the midst of pain, find rest in God’s chrysalis until your transformation is complete. After the hurricanes of life, keep your head up so that you will begin to see how great is our God.
