Calm the Storm

CALM THE STORM Oswald Chambers has said: “WE MUST GET SICK UNTO DEATH OF OURSELVES…” Ouch! When we become discouraged, angry, depressed and disillusioned our eyes are only on “OURSELVES”. Every day I run into someone who has hit “rock bottom”, and I want to help with every ounce of encouragement I can find. The sad thing is I cannot do it for anyone. We are all accountable for ourselves with our own solutions. Today, if you are struggling to stay calm in the storm, let me try to guide you to shore. Relinquish your will to the SOURCE of your answer – God! 1. Relax and ride the storm out with confidence in your SOURCE – God! 2. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness! 3. Have faith that God will make good out of what Satan intends for bad. 4. Study the manual, it will show you exactly what to do. Have you lost a job, your mate, your health? Have your children given you great disappointment? Is money a challenge in paying bills? Do you feel all alone and no one cares? Does everything you put your hand to, seem to blow up in your face? I am going to make a suggestion of taking your eyes off of yourself and your situation, and putting all of your attention to God, your source. Deuteronomy 6 has a lot to say for you today: v. 2 –obey the word v.5 – love the Lord your God with all your heart v.7 – talk about God’s commands all day v.12 – remember what God has done for you in the past v.17 – keep all of God’s commands, and do what is right. v.24 – fear God , be obedient and you will prosper Love, Sharon
