Here Comes the SON!

Storm: a disturbance of the normal condition of the atmosphere, manifesting itself by winds of unusual force or direction, often accompanied by rain, snow, hail, thunder, and lightning, or flying sand or dust.

"Here Comes the Sun"

“O my people; trust in Him at all times. Pour out your heart to Him. For God is our refuge” -Psalm 62:8

 

In 1969 George Harrison wrote a song that would later be regarded as one his best contributions to the Beatles. The song was featured on their Abby Road album. The song was “Here Comes the Sun”. That same year proved to be troubling for Harrison personally and professionally: he was arrested for marijuana possession, his tonsils removed, and he had quit the band temporarily. I think its safe to say things weren’t going great for Ole George, but in the midst of the storm Harrison produced something wonderful and lasting. The take away is that God has been doing the same for over 2000 years. The Beatles song, a personal favorite among many Beatles fans across the globe, is a reminder to me that the “Son” will always appear in the midst of a storm and create something beautiful. All of us will experience storms during our lifetime. That is a fact. We are either in a storm, just got out of one, or one is on the horizon. And with each storm we all have the opportunity to produce something beautiful. As a believer I acknowledge that for that beauty to be fully realized one must put their trust, and faith, in God and let him navigate the stormy waters, guiding us to a land that will produce spiritual growth and increased faith. That is beautiful. The challenge is to trust him; not ourselves. When dealing with the storms of life one must understand that we cannot control the length, or the severity, of the storm, nor can we control the time, or rational, behind it. Psalm 55:22 states; “Give your burdens to the Lord and He will take care of you”. Those are great words of reassurance that reminds us that we don’t have to go it alone in our time of need. In closing, “Here Comes the Sun” ends with these words:

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s all right
It’s all right

As a believer don’t forget, the “Son” will always come. In our time of need Jesus Christ will shine brightly for all those that choose to see his blinding power manifested in our trial; our storm. Remember, everything will be alright. Everything will “always” be alright. God has a plan for us that includes dark clouds and storms, it also includes blue skies and the sun. Can you see him? Here He comes.
