I Told the Storm

Listening to ‘I Told the Storm’ the night before last, I was touched and led to ask myself what I am telling my storms. More importantly, I began to reflect on what I was telling others about my storms – and what I was telling GOD as a result of my response to – and testimony about – my storms. In pondering this question, I was taken back to consider what a difference there is today in the answer I find within myself as opposed to what it would have been, say 2-3 years ago. I can’t say that I never get overwhelmed but the change that has taken place is that now I know no matter how hard I try, I can’t handle it all on my own – these battles are the Lord’s. Now, I laugh at how I used to see things and I ask myself why in the world I would want to juggle all of that on my own, especially when God WANTED to handle it for me (and could do a much better job of it, by the way)! …

So – I suppose I won’t get into a long drawn out testimonial post like I normally do. I will just close with a note of encouragement: examine your natural response to storms in your life and start closely evaluating whether your actions are proof of the existence of your faith – or proof of a lack of faith! If you find that you are not operating in faith when responding to your storms, make a commitment to start giving control to God. In letting go and letting HIM calm your storms, your faith will increase! :)

Until next time...
