Praise Him in Your Storm

What is God trying to teach you?  Right now.  Think about it.  Are you going through a hard time?  A desert time that you just want to get out of.  All your energy is going towards getting out of the desert.  Have you ever thought about what God is teaching you in the desert, and what God wants you to learn.  Bad things happen.  How do you respond to that?  These days we are so quick to jump from one thing to another, always focusing on the next thing.  Rarely do we take the time to learn from the storm.  In the storm you are in now, don’t just try to forget about it.  Take the time to learn from it.  People hurt you, it happens.  Learn from that.  Don’t get caught up with planning everything and wanting to get to the next best thing.  Learn from the storm, be still and quiet.  Listen to the whisper of what God is teaching you.  Grow from that, don’t miss out on it.

James 4:13-14 “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit- yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.  What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” 

We are not promised tomorrow.  Be thankful for the breathe God has given you. Make the most of it for HIS GLORY. Don’t compare your story to others’.  Rejoice in the storm. Rejoice in the good times. Don’t try and plan out everything or put off something for tomorrow. Everything that you do, let it bring glory to God, not to yourself. Seek God and PRAISE HIM IN YOUR STORM.

James 1:2 “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.  And let steadfastnesss have its full effect that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
