In Storms

One thing I have learned in my life is this:
In storms there is only one thing to do.
And it what David did in the Psalms...he prayed:

"Lord, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever."

This is so powerful because when I am hurting and have no answers, the first thing I want to do is get angry. But to get angry at God is a sure way to block myself from receiving His help or hearing His voice. Its the last thing I really want to do: biting the hand that feeds you. 

The fact is we do find ourselves in lots of troubles in this life and some are really really bad. It is also a fact that we don't find instant relief many times. SO what am I to do???

Still my soul like a weaned child on its mothers lap.  Just be still. Look at Him. Look for Him. Wait on Him. Worship Him. Love Him. Just wait and be still. 

He won't fail to come and answer. He will send help. He is the help. He is the solution. Again you will see the promises He has made fulfilled in your life. He promised and He does not lie.
