Sound familiar? The pink slip comes. The doctor calls. The divorce papers arrive. The check bounces. The life that had been calm is now chaotic. The world that had been serene is now stormy. Assailed by doubts. Pummeled by demands.

If you’ve ever wondered if God in heaven can relate to you on earth, then read and reread this pressure-packed day in the life of Christ.

And you will be assured that within every torrent there is a calm center—a place you can stand when the wind picks up: the eye of the storm.
