Have you ever been in a rainstorm? It is very windy. Your precious umbrella is doing its job, then a gust of wind. The umbrella collapses. Suddenly, you are exposed to the rainstorm. Wouldn't you know it? It begins to rain even more.
Could this possibly describe some days upon your pathway? It seems so difficult even to put your feet down. You seem misguided and alone, burdened with searching for a foundation and shelter from stormy surroundings of a rapidly changing world.
Your heart cries out for comfort and peace. It feels broken, alone, and alienated. But, just at that moment you see a slow down in the fury. A little ray of sun begins to shine through.
The Lord comes in, shelters you with his love and presence. He then provides a bigger and more stronger umbrella that can never break or fail. It is a guarantee you can always depend upon.
So, now there is a warmth that is slowly repairing the hurt. A smile is replacing the look of worry and fear. Your footsteps begin to become more rugged and strong.
You feel assured that you can continue onward in victory.
Take God's hand! He is the greatest guide one can find.

God bless you all!

ReplyDeleteGod works in such mysterious yet wonderful ways. I can totally relate to this piece. For the last few weeks, my life has been in a rainstorm, until a career changing thing happened yesterday.
