In a world where disaster can strike overnight—flooding streets, destroying homes, and displacing families—we are reminded how quickly the comforts we depend on can be washed away. This past weekend, Texas was rocked by devastating floods, leaving countless families scrambling for safety and stability. But for the faith-driven, there remains one unshakable truth: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble — Psalm 46:1.

This blog is a call to remember where true safety lies. In moments when waters rise and life shakes us to our core, our only lasting anchor is the living God.

In challenging times, maintaining a heart of gratitude can feel like a tall order, especially for those in leadership roles. Yet, Scripture repeatedly shows us that gratitude, even in seasons of trial, strengthens endurance and deepens faith. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul writes, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” For Christian leaders navigating turmoil, gratitude isn’t just an attitude—it’s a spiritual discipline that fortifies resilience and inspires others.
