April 3, 2020 www.PositiveChristianity.org presents Positive Daily Inspiration STORMS April 3, 2020 www.PositiveChristianity.org now in our 21st year presents Positive Daily Inspiration STORMS "Thou, O God, art my fortress, the God who shows me steadfast love." Psalms 59:17 Storms always pass! On one of our our recent spiritual retreat cruises a few years ago we were on the outer edges of the hurricane on the first day. The ship was quite rocky. But, by the time we got to our first port, the sun was shining through the clouds – the storm had passed. The incomplete, (the storm) is made complete in God. Failure, (the storm) is made into success in God. Weakness, (the storm) is made into strength in God. Sickness, (the storm) is made into health in God. Hate, (the storm) is made into love in God. The other day at my home there was a severe thunderstorm. I watching it with a sure sense of security because I was inside – safe, warm, and dry. Taking shelter during a storm is a sensible thing to do. You can apply the same action of seeking shelter from the turmoil of your life. You can know that many of your hardships, upsets, or difficulties would be better met by your nonresistance, rather than by your direct participation. Knowing that God is your present help in the time of trouble, you can take heart as you pray. You can be in the presence of the peace, power, and protection of God while a stormy experience passes. When you retreat into the security of God's presence of love, you are assured that this, too, shall pass. As you let God takeover, your faith in God increases, as does your ability to work and to pray from a center of peace and power. During a storm in our personal lives like right now in our country, there may be times when peace of mind seems impossible to obtain. At these times, take shelter in God. Remember that God is never confused and is with you in times of trouble; and no matter how changeable the world is, God is eternal and changeless. God abides with you as perfect peace and harmony. God protects you during your storms of life. As you focus your attention on God in moments of need, you experience God's presence and power. You are resting within the shelter of the Almighty. Within the shelter you are no longer confused. The perfect peace of God gives you the strength and enthusiasm you need to meet life victoriously. With God, you view the storms; from under the shelter, you are less affected by them, and you move through life, easily and harmoniously. In any storm that you face, hold to the reality of God's goodness in your heart and mind and know that your every need will be met. When you find yourself in a storm, let go of anxieties and concerns and let God guide you to safety. Try to see past appearances and become open and receptive to all possibilities, for you know that God will see you through each situation. If you have a storm of a health challenge, have faith that you will be healed, and that you will be filled with renewed strength and energy. If you have a storm of a prosperity challenge, release all thoughts of what you don't have and rely on God's supply of abundant good. If you have a storm in a personal relationship, know that God's love will restore order, harmony and justice in every circumstance. Just as the sun comes through the clouds as the storm passes, you know that God's good is coming forth and that all your needs will be met.
