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.

The Least of the Weakest

"But Lord," Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family. . ?” Judges 6:15 NIV

Do you doubt your ability to serve the Lord effectively because you lack wealth, power, position, skills and experience? Gideon doubted how he could save Israel when he and his family lacked the resources thought necessary for the task. But the Lord said, ““I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.” Gideon subsequently defeated the enemy using only 300 men selected from an army comprising of 22,000 men. This proved that it was not the strength of the people of Israel that saved them, but the power of the Lord.

Most of the apostles came from humble backgrounds, Simon Peter for example used to be a fisherman. When they got filled by the Holy Spirit, people were amazed by how these unschooled ordinary men acted with great power and courage. All we need is for the Lord to be with us; leading our lives, for us to be victorious. The Lord himself provides the resources and abilities necessary for the tasks we have ahead of us. We should not depend on human wisdom, because God works in mysterious ways. Instead we should be humble, and depend totally on the power of God, to use our availability for his purpose and for his glory.
