There are times in our lives when storms seem inevitable. Truth be told you are either in a storm, coming out of one, are about to go into one. That's the stories of our lives. God allows us to go through certain things sometimes for our own good.. Other times it is to benefit someone else, so that they might see how you maintain through it all. Quite often you will find that God may be working something out in you. You character, your strength, and patience levels may all need to be put under fire. Therefore God allows the trials to come.
I have found that it is best to praise my way through and be very diligent about seeking God. I ask him to show me what it is I am supposed to learn or gain from the storm. I listen for the word and I wait on the Holy Spirit to move!!
Job13:15 "Though they slay me, yet will I hope in him!"
It is up to us to grab hold of God during these times more than ever before...Don't allow the circumstance or the enemy to keep you from growth during your storms of life. I am thankful to be in the spiritual place I am now. I am learning more and more about my Creator every day. It would behoove you to do the same. Learn for yourself! Seek out the knowledge of God. He will add unto you all that you need, so that when these storms of life come forth you can STAND! It is important as believers that we KNOW our FAITH and LIVE it!
There are many mysteries in the mind of God and a portion of them is for us to adhere to and take hold of. We will never be able to contain all of God's knowledge but those things he deems to share with us, if we are faithful and seek him, he will share.
I have said all this to say in your storms of life do not forget that God is the All in All in the all which means nothing exist without Our Creator and nothing comes forth without Our Creator's permission! Everything you go through he has allowed...even though we have free will and free choice and sometimes are often culprits to our own demise...God still has the last say so. avenues can be made to turn things around in our favor. Have you ever heard that saying that God works everything to the good for those who love him. Well it is true.
Even in our storms of Life God will recalibrate us in the direction we should go, if only we would seek him! Do not be discouraged my brothas and sistahs. The Storms of life will come and go. You have the choice to submit your will to Our Creator and let him lead you through!!
Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me
1Thessalonians 5:16-18 Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
**I started this blog with another thought in mind but this is what I was lead to write... So I pray that One will gain from this and move forward with encouragement knowing that Joy comes in the morning and Storms are seasonal!! Be blessed... Love you always
