It is said that we are either about to go through a storm, we are going through a storm, or the storm has passed. It's a nonending cycle that we cannot control and these storms come because of various reasons. We have to be careful of not blaming God or geting mad at Him when they come. We must accept the fact that storms will come and when they do, we have to draw closer to God...not run away.

The word in the Greek means metamorphosis which is what we see when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. Jesus’ face shines as bright as the sun and his clothes are a brilliant white. Peter, bless his heart, tries to interrupt what was happening but God the Father overshadows the three disciples with a cloud and tells them, “This is My dearly loved Son who brings me great joy. Listen to him.” God the Father could have scolded Peter but He shows grace but in doing so, He gives affirmation to Jesus. Fathers, our children need our affirmation! They need to know, they need to hear from us, that we love them and they bring us great joy! Dads…go talk to your kids!

How much time do you spend with God? 33:16 no Jesus spars with the Pharisees and the teachers of the law again on the Sabbath Day when he heals a man’s withered hand in the synagogue. It was at this point that Jesus became known as an “enemy” to the Pharisees and all of the religious leaders.
