Storms Come, Yet & Still We Remain

"Many evils confront the (consistently) righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all" Ps. 34:19

Life is a summation of challenges and victories, valleys and peaks! It doesn't matter how many challenges you overcome, you have to realize that there will always be more. Don't be discouraged or fretful that you have challenges, obstacles and storms that are trying to prevail against you. This is a natural part of life, especially when you know who you are in Christ. The road of least resistance is probably an indicator you are traveling down the wrong road. Yet every challenge can produce great victories! Stay out loud, "This storm WILL pass and I WILL be the standing". Victory is always available, just grab hold to it!

We shouldn't be as nearly concerned with the challenges and catastrophic events that occur in our lives, but more so our responses to them. It is within our response, that our faith is developed and matured, that our testimonies are birthed. Faith boldly speaks to the "present and future" with the assurance and knowledge of the "past". We have faith in God because of what he has done. Since he has intervened before, why should he not again? God is stable and constant, he is not like man, forever wavering in his emotions towards us. He loves us now, even though he knows what we will do tomorrow. This is an empowering assurance which should prompt us to step up to the storms in our lives and rebuke them. We may not be able to stop them from rising up against us, but we can take dominion over them once they come!
