When it rains it pours and opens doors
and floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe
and dry...
This is how I feel that my year has been like. I have had so many challenges and when it seems like the waters have calmed, I realize another wave has been brewing. It is during these times that I have to repeat to myself the things that I know about God. Have you ever sat down and made a list of the things you actually know about God?
What I know:
He is savior
Son of God
Almighty
All knowing
Caring
Faithful
Merciful
Compassionate
Omnipotent
Creator
All knowing...
I could go on and on. It is during the storms, that we have to focus on what we know about God. It is in these times when we are most weak, that Satan uses himself to cause doubt and cause fear and cause worry.
Jesus reminds us in Jeremiah 29: 11-13 of how much he loves and cares for us
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
