   [The Crosswalk Devotional]( When God Guides You Right Into a Storm
By Christine Perry "On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, 'Let us cross over to the other side.' Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling." - [Mark 4:35-37 NKJV]( Have you ever been following God, and one bad thing after another takes place? Have you ever stopped, looked around, and wondered if you missed a sign or took a wrong turn? If so, don't worry; you're in good company. Remember David? David waited fifteen years from when he was [anointed]( king to when he became the king! Can you imagine how often he must have asked the Lord, "Did Samuel really anoint me to be king? Or was that just a fluke? Because Saul doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon." Initially, David had hope. Remember, he played in the palace for Saul. So, he was undoubtedly encouraged, knowing that he was at least working in the palace and getting acclimated to his surroundings and with Saul and his family. But then, the bottom dropped out. [King Saul]( lost it, kicked David out, and then spent considerable time hunting David down to kill him. I am not sure about you, but I would have questioned. "Lord, was that You? Or am I making something up? Are You sure I'm supposed to be king? Because we are getting further away from any hope of becoming king."  [CONTINUE READING →](
