Push through the storm

June, Sunday 27th, 2010. Filed under: Christian Life

It was Wednesday evening and I was attending a meeting at a friend’s house. Suddenly, I felt a push to check my cell phone. When I did, I had eight missed calls from my aunt and mom. Oh no! I said to myself. Right then and there I knew something was wrong. I picked hit the call button returned my mother’s call.

Dad is in the ER… Gasp!

As I headed to the hospital. I said to myself “when will I get a break”. I have been in and out of the hospital so many times this year that I could practically get around blindfolded. Why was this happening? Doesn’t God see that I am crumbling underneath the pressure? I need a break! I had had enough. I wanted out. Then in the midst of my rant, I felt an overwhelming peace and I know without a doubt that it came from God. Sometimes God may not necessarily take you out of the situation, but he will surely give you the peace of mind to get through it and at that moment, that is exactly what I needed. I needed peace and he gave it to me.

When life’s trials and test come your way, don’t just ask God to take it away but ask him for the strength and peace to push through the storm. The Bible tells us that these storms have come to give us strength and work patience within us. (there goes that patience word again!) God promises never to give us more than we can bear. So, let’s trust him to see us through and complete his perfect work in us.

Today as I sit by my Father’s bedside, this is the hope that I hold dear and I extend this same hope to you.

God will finish what he started so just PUSH THROUGH THE STORM

So, how’s my dad doing? Let’s put it this way. He is coaching the England soccer team from his bed. Lolll
God does have a sense of humor. Thank you Lord for your peace!

More Devotions for you...

  • Let God show off!

    Weird title right? We’ve always heard that God can do all things. He is omni-potent. Therefore, he has the power to do anything he pleases. Yet, there is one thing that God can’t or better yet won’t do and that is make you believe in him. God won’t feed you faith. He won’t make you [...]
  • Man Up!

    Today’s devotion is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. Paul’s message to the Corinthians was to cause them to examine [...]
  • Claim your inheritance..

    Because of these truths, we should not live our lives as though Christ never died. We should not live as though he wasn’t enough of a sacrifice. When we hold onto the traditions of old, we are declaring that Christ was not enough. On the contrary, he was the perfect sacrifice slain and accepted by Father and is now seated at the right hand of God.

  • Dust it off…

    Last night I was beside myself with disappointment. Have you ever told yourself that you’d never do that again and end up doing it? The enemy hovers around you and just pushes and pushes and you fight and fight and then boom – you stumble. That was me last night and I just was so [...]
