He Calms The Storm.

 "He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves." Psalms 107:29

Today was a very stormy day for my area, being from the south we have tornados, which I terrified of. I was praying for God's peace because they showed it was hitting our town in the next hour, I began to pray, I was so scared. I heard God say to me, "I saved you from a F-5 tornado, I can do it again." I began to feel at peace. I remember the day the F-5 hit a town under us, I was sitting on the floor in the living room, at the time I wasn't scared of storms. My mom came home from work and said , "There is a tornado headed here, we have to go to the storm house." My dad and I not being worried said "it's fine, were fine here." As it got closer it missed us and hit a town about six miles south of us about, headed to the east of us. When it hit south of us the windows began to shake, the glass door was popping, we got in the hallway and prayed. It hit a town northeast of us, and completely blew it away. Even today the town looks flat and empty compared to what it use to be. It was so sad for all the families who lost their homes, jobs, families and animals. It's so sad, and was life changing. Today as the storms roll in, I remembered God can't just calm actual storms, He can also calm metaphorical storms in our lives. There's nothing God can't handle. Today trust God to calm every storm. Verses to reflect on today: "Do you know how God controls the storm and causes the lightning to flash from him clouds." Job 37:15 "Ask the Lord for rain in the spring, for he makes the storm clouds. And he will send showers of rain so every field becomes a lush pasture." Zechariah 10:1 "When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Silence! Be still!" Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm." Mark 4:39 "The disciples were absolutely terrified. "Who is this man?" they asked each other. "Even the wind and waves obey him!" Mark 4:41

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
