I tend to think of The Lord almighty giving us this bible verse as a great example, a life lesson really, of how easy it is to stay strong in a situation, how making the right decision above all else will enviably give you strength, give you power, give you peace, give you happiness and joy the world is longing for. 

Through the storm, the Lord was my rock, His Word was my light and the church was His hands and feet. Church folks stepped up in a thousand ways, from moving out stuff to new spaces to help with parenting, to home and car repairs, to countless prayers.
