Have you ever wanted to just say, “why Lord”? I think many of us have been there and maybe there right now during this season. With all that is going on around us, we just do not know what to think sometimes. We do not know what to do with everything that is happening all around us. Not even to mention that many of you are experiencing troubles right at your own back door. During these seasons we should be careful that we do not lose hope.
When I think back to 2020, during the pandemic and the unrest that was taking place in our communities I remember that I temporarily lost hope and allow unrest to take hold of my spirit and emotions. One day I decided to do something about the uneasiness that I was feeling. I decided to turn my eyes toward Jesus instead of the turmoil and chaos that was happening all around me. I knew the Father loved me too much to desert me. I knew He heard my prayers and would take care of me and mine.
As I prayed and praised, peace started settling on me like a warm, cozy blanket on a cold winter’s day. I had to continue to remind myself that He will never leave me or forsake me. Yes, the storms are raging and there have been many that have had great loss, but one thing is for sure is His love, grace, and mercy is greater than any storm we may go through.
A video I watched on social media recently was of some of the girls that had been at the camp in Texas that was flooded. Many lost their lives during this catastrophic event. These young girls had experienced and seen great losses. What they did convicted me! You see, you and I during times of storms in our lives we sometimes allow the circumstances to make us to misstep and stir up a desire to give up. These beautiful young ladies chose to sing praises to God even in the midst of hardship and loss. We can learn from them! There is just something that can be said of focusing on God and praising Him even during the storms of life. As we praise and worship God, our peace is restored and that sweet peace begins to settle on us, reminding us that He is right there in the midst of storm. The follower of Christ has the assurance that He keeps them in the palm of His Hand. He sees you and cares about you.
Be Blessed,
Terry
Hebrews 13:5
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Isaiah 26:3,4
3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.
