This is a time where a lot of people are in storms but open your eyes to realize you have NOT been overtaken by the storm. Keep in mind that just because something looks unfamiliar doesn't mean it's not God. Your unfamiliar situations will take you into the promise land, don't jump off path. God is showing us that while in a storm doors can still be opened and life does go on. God wants to expand our territory and that means going into places you've never seen while experiencing things you've never experience. It's working something greater out, believe that. Also, blessings are given on a continuous basis from God regardless of what we see before us. We have to learn to continually function through storms as well as times of breeze. We have to carry out the necessary assignments regardless of how we feel and what's going on. We have to learn not to flip flop when things get hard. We have to learn to stick and stay with God because he is always good and remains faithful. We have to learn to control our emotions and to not make decisions solely based on emotions. We must learn and remember to only speak what God says and have said about our situations/lives. His promises will manifest. (Hebrews 10:23)
Life is not about ducking and hiding when storms do come but it's about learning to stay on the path God places before us while going through every aspect of Life. Know that God is looking at our heart while in various situations. God's ways and thoughts are above ours(Isaiah 55:8-9). What He's allowing is positioning us for the greatest release we've ever experienced. We must understand that all situations have an expiration date, they're temporary, and the only thing that doesn't change is God. With that mindset we should be confident in God and encouraged that he's in control.
So keep your joy, keep your hope in God, and know that you are being aligned for something great. Major doors you've been waiting on and praying for have been opened, it's just a matter of days before natural manifestation presents itself. Be grateful for what God has already done and expect greater then watch it happen. It's not as bad as it seems, it's better. Looks through the right eyes. Life is not all about storms but it's about trusting God with every part of your life. You were made for greatness, never forget that. Regardless of what's in your past, you're forgiven. No good thing will he withhold from you. (psalm 84:11) Know that God loves you with an everlasting love and he's always thinking about you. So keep God first, keep trusting Him, and choose to stay grounded in your faith.
Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
Let your hope be in the Lord.
Blessing and love,
Eri
