My bad days are my best days

​“And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.” (Matthew 8:26)

Douglas Miller’s lyrics:
​
“Though the storms keep on raging in my life
And sometimes it's hard to tell the night from day
Still that hope that lies within is reassured
As I keep my eyes upon the distant shore
I know He'll lead me safely to that blessed place He has prepared

But if the storms don't cease
And if the winds keep on blowing in my life
My soul has been anchored in, in the Lord

This song reminds us that the storms will surely come and as raging as they might be at times, those of us anchored in the Lord, will find peaceful shores again. 

Spurgeon wrote: “I bear my witness that the worst days I have ever had have turned out to be my best days. And when God has seemed most cruel to me he has then been most kind. If there is anything in this world for which I would bless him more than for anything else it is for pain and affliction. I am sure that in these things the richest tenderest love has been manifested to me. Our Father’s wagons rumble most heavily when they are bringing us the richest freight of the bullion of his grace. Love letters from heaven are often sent in black-edged envelopes. The cloud that is black with horror is big with mercy. Fear not the storm. It brings healing in its wings and when Jesus is with you in the vessel the tempest only hastens the ship to its desired haven.” ― 

Let us be encouraged, keep our eyes on God, and fear not the storm. God’s grace is sufficient.
