Surviving The Storm

Storms can sometimes be furious, some for a long time, and some cover a wide area. All survivors of storms have this in common; the gift of faith. According to Hebrews 11:1 in the Holy Bible: "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for."

I'll begin by talking about ways we can use our faith in storms. One way is to stand. Some may say what does it mean to stand in my situation? Does this mean that I stand while my husband is beating me or my wife is cheating on me or my boss is cheating me out of my pay? The answer is yes and no! No, you shouldn't stay around while you are being physically or emotionally abused. But what God wants you to do is trust HIM enough to leave and allow HIM to work the situation out; according to HIS will. Your stand is to pray for your physical, spiritual, and emotional healing. Your stand is to protect your children. Your stand is to seek out help from those that will help you. Your stand is to believe God to manifest HIS glory in your storm. Usually in a storm you are the last one standing. Survive the Storm today.........
