In The Time Of A Storm! by Myra Boozer


Are you in the midst of a trial and you feel you are headed directly into a life threatening storm? Do you feel that your world is about to fall apart and you have no idea where you're going to land? Has your foundation been shaken by the enemy and your life seems to be twirling in the air headed to the land of Oz?

Many people are in circumstances that make them feel helpless and hopeless. They don't know who to trust, who to call or who they can depend on to lend a helping hand. They are struggling with so much fear and anxiety for what their future may hold.

I shared with a friend today about trusting God during the times of uncertainty. Sometimes things happen overnight and we feel stunned by the changes that are inevitably on their way. Things are changing all over the world with governments, health care, employment, sickness, marriages and a great moral decline making people fear for the lives of their families. But we must remember God never Changes!

Sometimes people lose everything they own and have to start over from the beginning. God has promised He would make a way for us. He has invited us to call on Him and to trust in His ability to take care of us. He has told us He would never leave us or forsake us no matter how fierce our storm may become.

We must stand on His Word...His Promises...His Truth...His Wisdom is from everlasting to everlasting. He is not a man that He should lie. What He promises He will perform.

Going through a storm is never comfortable or something we welcome but it has it's rewards. Yes, you will come out stronger than when you went into the horrible situation. You will know how to pray more than you've ever prayed. You will become so much better acquainted with the Master. You will understand His ways are not our ways but they are for our good. You will have more peace than before because you understand that contentment doesn't come from good circumstance or possessions but from having a pure relationship with the Lord. You will realize that you’re no longer burdened with having to figure out all the details of your life. He does that for you. You learn that joy does not come from feeling happy about situations but by knowing that all is well with your soul. The small wonders of His great creation will make you smile and rejoice in knowing he made everything with a purpose...a plan and that includes you. You will learn how amazing God really is! He can take nothing and make something. Hey, He SPOKE this whole universe into existence. He makes the sun to shine and the world to rotate on it's axis. He is ever mindful of YOU...one of His greatest creations. “TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART; AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING. IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS,” Proverbs 3:6-7. A promise to never forget, especially in the time of a STORM.
