Righteous people, common ordinary people, get into storms. And second, righteous people have God in the midst of the storms with them. Even though the winds are gusting, the rain is pouring, the storms are tearing us apart, even though we are in the midst of a whirlwind, God is there. God is there. It is with a special delight that I present these Rest Stop devotionals to you. This month features writings from Hesston College students from the Faith and Discipleship class.
