Walking through the Storm

Flashes of lightning followed by thunder. Closer and closer with more intensity. Feeling the vibration with every sound. Bright flashes appear across the sky. One after the other, one end to the next. The wind speeds, making the branches and plants bend and crack. Signs of damage is visible blocking roads so no one can pass. The Rain whips sideways fast and furious. Giving no one any view and giving no balance. Trees split. Branches fall. Lights go out. The waters rise. Fear strikes.

Sometimes a situation in our lives can be like a storm. Your confronted with an issue that seems to be fierce and uncontrollable. You look at the situation from your own eyes. Thinking you are already defeated. Thinking you can do nothing. Your paralyzed by it. Not wanting to do anything because depression wants to set in. You start thinking you don't want to go to church. You won't get anything out of it. You forget who walks with you. You forget who helped you. You forget who loves you. You forget who knows you. You forget because your focusing on the storm.

But God is Faithful. He will remind you when you forget and give you peace. He hears your cry, your call. All of what he has done for you will flash right before your eyes. Then before you realize it, your down on your knees, crying uncontrollably, asking for forgiveness, calling Abba help me!

Confirmation; GOD IS FOR ME! He has shown himself to me numerous of times. I experienced his Awesome Might. I will not fear! Praise Be To God!

Matthew 15:30-32
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "Why did you doubt?" And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
