Guess what? We have a hurricane a
comin'!! Miss Hanna has decided to pay us a visit
apparently and I couldn't be binding and loosing any harder than I ever have before. Jesus did say we had that authority in Him as I recall so I will take Him at His Word and walk it out!!! Hurricanes always have that freakish before the storm thing that I hate worse than the actual storm. Has anybody besides me ever noticed how it is always so very still in the air and atmosphere right before it gets to you? Makes me shiver!!! But if it is inevitable, I guess we'll just hunker down and ride her out. Like with most storms we face in life, we just have to hunker down because it is inevitable that they are on the way. Nothing we can do. Nothing we can say. We just have to batten down the hatches with the Word of God and get into a place of safety under His wings and ride it out. We can't always rise above it. Sometimes we have to ride in it. Remember Jesus didn't call Peter to come to Him on the water when it was a clear blue sky and zero waves. When He called His name and said come, it was a typhoon!! Winds, Waves, lightening, thunder! A tempest!!
One thing that one of my
BFF's mentioned about hurricanes is the way the sky is so sweet and clear after it passes. It's like it blows all the bad stuff away and only the good remains. Well, that right there will preach!! When the storm is over, only the good remains and everything is sweet and clear. We could run. We could hide. But what for? We will just have to face it in the next storm till we have
confronted the purpose for it. Sometimes there are just some things that must be blown away, so batten down the hatches, stand still, and wait for it to pass. God has it all in His ultimate control. Just wait and see the reward for not turning to run. It will be sweet,
beautiful, and clear!! Anyway, I gotta go stock up...
lol!! My Gulf Coast
sistas, I feel your pain!!
