The Storm Series
Lessons Learned in the Storms of Life
NAHUM 1:3
The Lord is slow to anger - and great in power - and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet!
Today's verse says that God has His way in the storms - its all about Him and its not about us -its funny how when problems arise in our lives- we lose focus - we only see the problem and God gets lost in the clouds of our thoughts and we can no longer see Him -the One we need at such a time -we seem to forget about - we are funny - much like Israel was - we run to and from God at various times -when things are going very well -we are apt to forget where we were and where our help came from -but when the storm clouds billow and the bottom falls out and all we can do is hang on - we grip on to Him and then have a tendency to let go when the storm clouds part - and the sun returns - we must not live our lives this way -the main point of it all is we are not holding on at all He is holding us - we need Him at ALL times not just during the stormy times or just during the sunny times- we need Him always - the best we can do is just trust Him - knowing HE will have HIS way come to pass -and we can either join Him or fight against Him -He never gives us - we cannot win any augment with God - HE will have His way - lets just trust HIM during the stormy seasons of this life and soon the clouds will part and we will see the Son!
A side note: The Son is always with us!
With CHRIST we can see the SON in the midst of the storm!
