WHEN THINGS FALL APART

Cyclone

In this world we are faced by many situations that can result in severe stress, anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, grief, hopelessness and many other tumultuous emotions. These feelings can overwhelm us, ruin our health, and diminish our ability to move forward.

But when we trust God and seek His guidance, He helps us make our way courageously through uncharted waters. He gives us his peace; a calmness and joy that knows no understanding, so that we develop a better sense of control over our thoughts and emotions, allowing us to make good decisions and move forward.

“The cyclone derives its powers from a calm centre. So does a person.” Norman Vincent Peale.

The Word of the Lord bids us to be strong and courageous as we face the storms. “Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

In which storm will you trust the Lord for deliverance? Seek to have a calm centre and you will acquire the power you seek.

Asleep

“Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists”. (Acts 12:7 N.I.V)

On the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward (with the intention of putting him to death by the sword), Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards in front of the door.(Acts 12:6). Hardly what constitutes most consider the best conditions for peaceful sleep.

What Peter had was the consolation of the Holy Spirit. Though his physical body was bound, his spirit was free.  Even in the face of death he had a lively hope knowing fully well that nothing men could do would ever bring eternal damage. He had the Lord’s strength and power on his side and his mission was to glorify God, by whichever means he chose.

The indwelling Holy Spirit gives the best sleep out of the joy that knows no understanding!
