“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
1 Peter 5:6-10 NIV
God has not promised to keep us out of storms, He has, however, promised to see us through them. A storm can be trouble, difficulty, heartache, trial, or an issue that is causing you anxiety. There are spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, and mental storms. Storms prepare us, they help make us stronger and more useable for God. Storms even protect us, from getting arrogant and prideful. Be assured no storm is God-proof! Reflections: 1. The Storm May Be Bigger Than Me, But It Is NOT Bigger than GOD. 2.
Make a Radical Decision to Trust God by Giving the Storm Back to Him
3.
Storms Provide Opportunities for the enemy to work.
4. Storms are Great Opportunities for God to Work. 5. Praise God in the Storm.
