Sometimes He Calms The Storm

 

I first heard this song about 10 years ago when my family lived in Sarasota, Florida.

My mom used to quote it all the time and I always loved the lyrics.

I love being reminded of the fact that God is in control of every situation.

By understanding that I am not in charge of my life gives me so much relief knowing that even

when I mess things up, everything is perfect in God's plan and there is

nothing I can do to destroy His design for my life.

As the lyrics say, sometimes He calms the storm and other times He calms His child.

God can bring you through any obstacle but at times He may chose to let the storm rage on,

and instead give you the shelter and protection you need.

I have been faced with some life changing decisions lately and I am trying to seek out God's plan for my life.

Obviously I am not very good at accepting the fact that He may not want me to know His plans right now,

and I have not been doing my best to be patient and trusting in Him.

I pray that by being faithful and believing in His Omnipotent power,

that He will show me His path for me in His time 

and He will not let me wander down destructive roads.

Everyone remembers the story about Noah and how he had to trust in God's plan for Noah's ark.

Noah obeyed God's command to build the ark.

Noah trusted in God's plan for his life and did not let the distractions of this world deter

his faith in God's will.

I pray that I can have the same faith and reassurance in God's plan for my life as Noah did.

The representation of the rainbow reminds us that God keeps His promises,

and I rest in the fact that He holds my future and promises in Jeremiah 29:11

that He has plans to prosper me and not to harm me.

As hard as it is to wait on God,

I am so delighted in the fact that He will never leave me or abandon me.

I know that He always has my best interests at heart and if I just set my eyes and heart on Him,

He will direct my path.

Please pray that I may stay diligent in my wait for God's plan,

and make decisions that bring praise to Him.

This is my last week of school for the semester and I have a lot to get done,

so hopefully that will distract me from getting overwhelmed at not knowing my future.

I love you all!

Stay sweet!
