Storms of life By Jeanne Theriault
Psalm 107:28 They called out to the Lord in their trouble, and brought them out of their distress. He still the storm to a whisper the waves of the sea were hushed.
In our walk with God our faith will go through storms of life, but storms never last. After every storm there is a calmness the sun shines through the clouds, a rainbow appears , the waters becomes calm and peaceful , a stillness fills the air.
As we seek the Lord we run to him for shelter. Don’t look at the storm but seek peace through Christ in the storm. Be strong and draw close to him in prayer and seek his presence. God will comfort and provide for you, and encourage you through his word. He works behind the scenes and he will never leave you nor forsake you. Don’t let the enemy steal your peace. God is our peace and our hope, in his presence there is fullness of joy.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Psalm 16:11 You have made known to me the path of life, you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasure at your right hand.
The more we understand who God is, the more we can trust in him. We will not worry or be moved by the storms of life that come at us. We will enter into his rest and keep our peace.
Psalm 62:5 Find rest O my soul in God alone, my hope comes from him, He alone is my rock and my salvation , he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
As we yield to the Lord he will make our paths straight before us. All he requires from us is to trust him. God is fighting for us and turns our storms around for his glory and for our good. God will make a way where their seems to be no way. God is able to do the impossible.
Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusts in him and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give him thanks to him in song.
Thank you Lord, you have given us peace in the mist of every storms of life. You protect and guide. We will not fear, for you O Lord are our strength and will not be shaken. Our hearts will not be troubled and will not be afraid. Thank you for your gift of peace, in Jesus name.
