Genesis 9:16 "Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind in the earth."
The announcement of a Tornado Watch used to tie me up in knots with fear and anxiety, forget about a Tornado Warning - that would send me to the kookoo farm! But the amazing thing about giving over control of your life to God is that those things which used to scare me the most seem insignifigant because I know if it is not your time for tragedy than God will protect you...and if you are to face the storm than He knows you are ready for it and He will not leave your side as He guides you through it. So instead of freaking out and running in crazy circles wondering where the safest place in our house would be, I grabbed the camera and ran out on our porch...nuts, I know! However, had I not reacted in that way, my family and I would have missed out on one of God's awesome paintings...a double full arc rainbow! Sometimes life is like that, we have to face the storm, or the possibility of the storm in order to fully receive the blessings and good things God has planned for us. God has made us so many wonderful promises and His Word is solid and sure...and according to His precious Word, He will never leave us, He will never give us more than we can stand up under and He will credit our faith to us as rightesousness. Sure, when we hand over our life to God and let Him guide our steps there is not a guarantee that the path with be smooth, but "if God leads you to it, He'll lead you through it." Whatever storm you may be facing today I pray that God grants you the strength to get through it, comfort to stay peaceful during it and the wisdom to see His blessings shining through the clouds. Please join me in prayer:
Holy Father,
We know in life there are and will continue to be many storms. We thank You, that by Your Word's promise, You will turn all our storms to good because we love You. Please help us to always stay faithful enough to look for Your blessings even in the nmidst of immenent tragedy. Lord, we are ever grateful to You for those You have chosen to serve Your churches, please grant that they may continue to spread Your love and Your Word for many blessed years. We thank You also for all our service men and women and ask that You grant protection and favor to them all and their families. God, we acknowledge that Your healing is the only true and needed healing for our souls, bodies, minds, and hearts. Please grant Your supernatural healing to all of us but most especially to Summer, Sharon, Melissa, Morgan, Phyllis, Carolyn, Randy, Emily, Brenda, Sheila, Mr & Mrs Jones, Darlene, Brandy's Mom, Nancy, Fran, Rob, Cathy, Alex, Melissa, Benjamin, Amber & Michael, Ward, Karen, Kim, Abby, Lynn & Mark, Heidi, Pam, Suzy, Mike, Deanna, unborn baby Lauren and to all of those whom we may personally name to you now. We know that Your way is perfect, and therefore we ask that all our requests may be done not according to our wants but rather according to Your will and in Jesus' precious name. Amen.
