TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"...He sends rain on the just and the unjust alike"
Matthew 5:45
TODAY'S WORD:
We all have opportunities to get upset and live stressed out. The storms of life come to every person. No matter how good a person you are, you're going to have some "rain" in your life. When these storms come, a lot people use their faith to try to control their circumstances. But I've found it's better to use my faith to control myself in the midst of my circumstances. I know that if I can just remain stable in the storms of life and stay in peace, that's what allows God to act on my behalf. Today we shared in our worship service at Selah that Christ let us all know that we must carry our own cross, not HIS.
Selah people' and friends God never said that we wouldn't have difficulties, but He did promise we could have peace in the midst of the storms. When you face adversities, one of the most powerful things you can do is simply stay calm. When you are at peace, you are displaying your faith in God. By your actions you're saying, "God, I know You're still on the throne. I know You're bigger than this problem." So keep peace in the midst of your storms today. Trust that He is working behind the scenes. Keep your heart open to Him because soon He will deliver you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father God, thank You for peace in the midst of the storms of life. I choose to hold my peace knowing that You are working behind the scenes. I trust You, I trust Your timing, and I trust that You are working everything together for my good because You love me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."
Your brother in Christ,
Patrick
