In Georgia as in other states we had some stormy weather this past weekend. Ours came in the late-night Saturday night and into early Sunday morning.
There were Tornado warnings and a tornado with 110 miles an hour wind came through the County and the town our son and his family live in. It was on the ground there for about 12 miles.
There was a lot of damage even as close as a mile from my son’s family’s home.
But they had no damage except a few panels blew off the green house they have. But they just blew across the street and were not damaged and my son was able just to put them back on.
I was thinking about the prayers we were praying for protection of all we knew as the reports earlier in the week warned of the coming storms.
In other areas of the state massive tress, power lines, etc. were on houses and cars and roads were blocked and things in some parts of Georgia were a mess. Unlike some other states we had no deaths due to the storm.
My mind went to the fact that within ourselves we have no authority over storms and destruction.
Our only weapon against the weather is prayer and trusting that whatever happens, God can turn it around for our good and His glory. But we must pray with faith and trust the one who loves us to protect us.
We all know that bad things happen to good people, but we must do our part to pray and worship and trust no matter what.
My question to you is, “IF WITHIN OURSELVES WE CANNOT CONTROL THE WEATHER, WHY DO WE THINK WE CAN HANDLE ANY OF OUR LIFE BY OURSELVES”?
We think we can do it, and our way is the right way. The old song by Evis Presley comes to mind! “I DID IT MY WAY”!
We think we know what is best and it sometimes works for a while, but the better way is to lean on the one who can control not only the weather but all things in our lives.
My encouragement to you is to pray about everything. What does that mean? Well, I pray about a parking place, to find what I need, favor with a customer service call as well as for those who are hurting and sick and trying to handle things their way. I pray by name for my family, church family and friends.
I ask again, why do we think we can handle our lives on our own? The creator God who created the universe and created us knows exactly what we need and will guide us in the best way with the best outcome!
Every decision should be guided by Him. Every care lifted to Him and every frustration we should lay at His feet in prayer.
Friends, it brings me to tears when I think about how even as Christians, we do not take everything to the Lord in Prayer. We become so stubborn and set in our ways that we think we have the right moves!
But may I tell you that it is the Lord God Almighty that knows the right way and the statement, “GODS GOT THIS,’ is absolutely true as we release it to Him.
Let go and let God guide all you do every day in every way!
When the storms of life rage, and when life seems to fall apart, in Jesus you are safe, and he will handle it.
Leaning on Him, and admitting we are weak, but He is Strong, we are His Beloved and can trust the one who loves us best, gives us security and peace that cannot be bought!
Remember the scripture, “I can do all things THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENS ME’!
THROUGH CHRIST STRENGTH IS WHERE WE NEED TO LIVE! NOT OUR STRENGTH!
Father, I come in the name of Jesus Christ and thank you that you will take the wheel of our life as we release everything and everyone in it to your Lordship. Help us to walk in complete trust in who you are and who you are to us. Loving Heavenly Father, you do everything well! Amen!
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be truly happy! Love, MeMaw!
