The storms of life

God never promised to take away the storms, only to see us through them. 

 "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." Psalm 37:25

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Philippians 1:6

No matter what you are facing, no matter what you are going through, God is bigger, and greater, and still a loving God. If you are in the center of His Will, and doing the best you can with what you have, and with a joyful heart, God will provide the rest, but on His terms. He never promised to provide in accordance to the world's standards, but to His. According to the Bible, if we have food and raiment, we are blessed, and how true that is. Sow contentment, reap joy in the Lord, for He is above our circumstances, and we are not of this world. 

ALL of this, every BIT of it is temporary. It will ALL pass away one day. Make sure your value and hope is in the eternal, not the temporal of this world. Fix your eyes on God and follow His Word, and you will be blessed beyond all measure. And never stop believing that God can and that God will. 

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24

Never lose hope, for we have been given a Hope that has overcome the world. Be blessed, and bless the Lord. ♥

 "Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name." Psalm 103:1
