As I watch the Weather Channel, I am amazed
that those reporters will stand outside to report, even in the gales of
hurricanes! As the storm approaches they begin to find it harder and harder to
stand. The wind and the rain beat
against them with all the forces of nature. Hats are blown off and jackets are
flapping. But those reporters, having been given the task of informing the
public, make their stand. No matter what, they hold their ground through it
all.
They could walk away. They could focus on the
storm and say it’s not worth it. They could become afraid of the bad
weather. They could get mad at the
station manager for giving them that dangerous assignment. Or, they could remember their calling and hold
their ground.
Are you thinking about walking away this
morning? Where is your focus? On the storm? Are you focusing on your wants and
your feelings? Are you losing your
footing and thinking that enough is enough? Whatever your feelings, whatever
storm is raging in your life, God is with you!
No storm lasts forever, but God’s people do.
Oh beloved when the storms of life are
raging, stand with the Lord! Stand under His wings, kneel in the shadow of His
Name and hold on for your life! When the storm subsides, not only will you be
standing, you will have something wonderful to report to the people! God
reigns! God’s Word is True! He will see you through. You will be reporting that
the storm you went through could not overtake you, the flood you walked through
could not drown you, the momentary light afflictions could not get you off your
mark! Because God loves you and He’s for you, no matter your circumstances, no
matter the weather, that’s all that really matters.
Isaiah 4:6 It will be a shelter from daytime
heat and a hiding place from storms and rain.
Isaiah 25:4 But you are a tower of refuge to
the poor, O Lord, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. You are a refuge
from the storm and a shelter from the heat. For the oppressive acts of ruthless
people are like a storm beating against a wall
Ephesians 6:10 A final word: Be strong in the
Lord and in His mighty power.
1 Chronicles 16:8 Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim His
greatness. Let the whole world know what He has done.
