It's brewing

The other night, our little three-year-old had a hard time sleeping. Every time we had her down, she would wake right back, and come to our room. She would say, "There's thunder in my room." Now, we were in the midst of a pretty severe storm all around. However, she wasn't concerned about what was going on outside, all she could see was the storm going on around her.

We all face our storms. Sometimes, they are familial troubles. Sometimes, they are financial troubles. Sometimes, they are health related. Sometimes, they are people related. Whatever it is, we find ourselves in storms. When the storms arise, we have a tendency to take our focus off anything except that storm. Or, I do anyway.

Today's word is from Exodus 15:2, NLT, which reads, "The LORD is my strength and my song; He has given me victory. This is my GOD, and I will praise Him..."

When we focus on the storms in our lives, we lose the fact that GOD is there and He has us in His hand. We see all the things going on around us but we fail to see that GOD surrounds us. It is easy to lose sight of GOD'S protection when we hear the thunder and see the trees doubled over. Yet, He is still there, holding us close and keeping us.

Whatever storm you may be facing, remember that GOD has calmed the fiercest of storms and He is holding you in the midst of the one you are in. He is my strength; He has done it before and He will do it again! Praise Him! The storm will be defeated; He will give you victory!

Be Blessed,
