Sometimes the storms of life take us by surprise, but  God is Omnipresent and Omniscient. He is never taken by surprise. He knows it all, He is always there. He does not slumber. He is faithful.  He is all powerful. I must tell you that God never cease to amaze me. There are challenges that I would never want to face because I know that I could never face them, but God is faithful. He keeps all His promises. when God said "I will never leave you" He meant it. Friend, when trouble comes, do not run. You have what it takes to face any situation. God is always in the midst of the most devastating events that affects us. Not matter you feel, see, and hear, God is present.  It is when we give our issues, our health, our desires, and other people first place in our lives that our problems overwhelm us. They become unbearable. I think if we learn to give God first place in our lives. We would no situation to difficult to bear. Jesus has to be the rock we stand on. He should be our anchor. When we are well attached to our anchor the storms may come, sickness may come, death may even come, but we would not be shaken because we know our anchor holds. We remain faithful. It is well with our soul.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 38-39

Nothing in this life and nothing in death can separate us (believers) from God's love. When bad things happen in life we often wonder about the love of God, but  Whether we live or die, we are in His love. Jesus promise to never let us go. Once saved, we have security in our relationship with God. We have security that is a matter of life and death. We have assurance of God everlasting love. Listen, if we believe truly and wholeheartedly, each moment of our lives is by design and not accident, if we believe that our destiny rests in the hands of Jesus Christ, our Savior and our Lord,  the one with ultimate love, ultimate compassion, and  and ultimate power then nothing would scare us. We would walk in absolute peace. Friend, God knows what you are feeling. He knows you concerns and you desires. He is able and willing to help you in every thing you are facing. He loves you unconditionally. Rest in His love. Your peace is in God and not in your spouse, your job, wealth, and health. Only God is immutable. Do not let your heart be troubled. Serve God faithfully through calamity and favor. Love God unconditionally in sickness and in health. Praise Him always. He is worthy.

Thank you Lord for inner strength in the midst of this devastating storm. Let it be for your glory.

Peace, and be still my soul!

Praise the Lord!
