When The Storms Roll In

When the storms roll in your life, it is time to fluff up your wings of faith.  Like the eagle that looks forward to the storm, so he can fly higher and longer.

Don't look around you at the problems, but look for the glimmer of God's Presence in the midst of your storm, ready to take you on a flying lesson, like you've never had before.  Think of how those storms are an opportunity for you to rise to new heights, to enlarge your territory.

We see through a glass darkly, because we don't have heaven's eyes to see with.  We see all the problems, but God sees the solution.  He is never surprised.  He knows what it is going to take to get us to the next level.  So, as the waves crash around you, look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.  Your hope is not in the arm of flesh, but God's strong and amazing arms.  He carries those burdens for us, so we are free to explore and learn and grow.

My dear ones, be encouraged today.  As that storm brews around you, think of Philippians 4:8 "For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]".  Take your thoughts captive, and Philippians 4:8 them.  God bless you.
