Very early one morning a traveler started out to climb to the mountain top in time to see the sun rise. The guide went first and the visitor followed.
Soon an awful storm came on, the lightning flashed and the thunder roared. The old man said, "It is no use going on; we cannot see the sun rise in such a storm as this."
But the guide answered, "We must go on; we shall get above the storm." And so they did. Up at the top they stood and saw the glorious sun shine forth, beneath them surged the dark storm clouds.
I remember once walking over a mountain pass, and as we went along the clouds were beneath us. So when the devil raises a storm about you, pray for strength to rise above it. The sun of God's love is always shining and the skies of grace are always blue. If God sees you are in earnest, that you want to bask in the sunlight of His mercy, soon you will rise above the storm, and will see the light of heaven shining upon you.
