Praise Him in the Storm....


This last week has been a rough one not only for me but for a lot of those that I love as well. Though we all have been through our own personal hell...there is one thing that we have in common...we survived!      

So whether you have been struck with an illness, or your body is showing the wear and tear of years past, if you have suffered the loss of a loved one, if you are struggling with your job or if you had to watch someone you care about go through one or more of these things....take a deep breath in and praise God! Yes, you read that right, I said Praise GOD.     

Satan is running scared because his time is short and the sound on the clock winding down is magnified in his ear. He is trying to throw us off balance whatever way he can. He is hoping that we will do what some others have done before us...blame God for all our troubles and pain and give up. I for one refuse to do that...and I hope you do too. God saw us through this week, one day at a time and He will continue to take care of us. It is our responsibility to keep our faith, get into His Word and praise Him, especially during the times when we cannot feel Him near us.   

This is a new week and although we may be wearing scars from the battle, nonetheless  we are able to stand up and face another day. We have another chance to show Satan that God saw us faithfully through last week and we choose to remain faithful to the One True God!   

Just because we take a hit does NOT mean we lost the battle...it means we have come THROUGH the battle.   I speak peace, strength and mental clarity into your life today, my friend. Do not give up...Get up and continue on! May there always be shalom in your heart and in your home.
