TYPHOONS OF LIFE!!

"But soon afterward a violent wind [of the character of a Typhoon] called Northeaster, came bursting ..and when ship was caught and was unable to head against the wind, we gave up..letting her drift ...". Acts 27:14-15. Humm.."Facing the storm that come against your home"! Storms- they come to us all, they come suddenly and unexpectedly, come from different and often unsuspecting directions, isn't it? If you are a college student or a CEO, widow or widower, Newly wed or 50 years into marriage, one room apartment or living in a mansion, house on a 3 cent land or a 1000 acre Ranch, riding a cycle or driving a Mercedes, physically small or Mr. universe, weak and dull looking like Leah or beautiful and attractive like Rachel, unexpected storm will come. Not if but when, do you know that? My friend what do you do? Well, I am glad you asked! In Chapter 27 of Acts we get some ideas how to handle the storm. 1) Accept the wind as a part of the Lord's plan. 2) Throwout everything except those things that are precious. 3) Get alone with God. 4) Recognize your Lord's presence in all circumstances. 5) Remember and be assured of God's promises to you. Bro: YOU WILL NOT PERISH UNTIL GOD FULFILLS HIS PROMISES TO YOU. Stop blaming your spouse, children, parents, pastors, churches, your job situation, and whatever you can put blame on. God is giving you timeout man- SELAH MOMENT. You thought you and your ability, qualifications, experience, education for your success, right? GOD WILL NOT GIVE HIS GLORY TO ANYONE. PERIOD! Am I still your friend??
