A number of years ago, a hurricane struck Florida. Whole towns were devastated. One mother survived with her children in her arms, even though her roof had been ripped from her apartment complex.
When she was interviewed by a reporter, he asked her how she had found the hope to hold on when the entire world seemed to be against her.
She smiled and said God showed her the storm would eventually end. When the eye of the hurricane passed over her, the sun shined in the midst of the devastation, and she felt God tell her that he was the eye in the midst of the storm, and that no matter what happened, he would be there with her.
Spiritual discouragement is one of the devil’s deadliest tools. In Numbers 21:4 we read that as the children of Israel traveled in the desert, the soul of the people was much discouraged due to the journey.
There are three examples given to us in the Word that reveal to us how to get through the storms that come our way.
Example #1:
Ephesians 6:12 tells that Paul wrestled against principalities. He indicated he felt he had no way out. Yet, in 2 Corinthians 4:16-17, we learn that when Paul was in the midst of a very hard time, he said that his troubles were temporary.
Paul had learned that he would be delivered, even though the possibility of death was his daily companion.
Example #2:
In Luke 18:1-8 there is the story of the widow who went before the magistrate. When there was no response, she returned again and again. Even though he did not want to answer her pleas, he was finally worn down by her persistence.
Luke tells us that men ought always to pray and not faint. To be strong in our faith, we must take the opportunity to pray and to be frequent in our coming before him.
Example #3:
Galatians 6:9 tells us to not be weary in well doing. When things seem to stagnate, and we are getting nowhere, we must not give up.
God has called the believer to a specific job. We may be teachers, shepherds, janitors, or deacons. If God has called us to that position, we are important.
We must keep faith that in due season we will reap our reward.
Jesus is our encourager in our time of need, and our eye of calm in the time of the storm. He will always be with us whatever comes our way.

Time, that pesky thing that drives us to distraction.
In the morning, there never seems to be enough. We rush and rush, and still, the clock hands move faster than we do.
Then we visit the dentist’s office. The hands on the clock slow to a crawl. What? Don’t they know we’ve got to be back in the office in thirty minutes? Let’s get this done!
We can easily forget God’s view of time and the nature of who we are. Our mornings, our visits to the dentist’s office … all are a blink in God’s grand scheme.
Psalm 56:4 gives us a view into our eternal nature in Christ:
“In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
Two simple sentences but a whole volume of meaning. Let’s unlock it.
Key No. 1:
In God, whose word I praise.
There are three truths here. Truth #1: In God. Everything. All creation. Us, them, every moment of every day. It is all in God. Truth #2: Whose word. He speaks, and creation happens. The words of his mouth are our reality. Truth #3. I praise. When we lift our voices in praise to him, we are giving God value for his lovingkindness toward us.
Key No. 2:
In God I trust and am not afraid.
Our first part says: In God I trust. That means with everything. Our finances, our relationships, every part of who we are. The final part says: I am not afraid. No fear, no worries, no sleepless nights. In him we feel secure, complete, comforted.
Key No. 3:
What can mere mortals do to me?
We are the children of the eternal God, the creator of all that was, is, and shall be. When we come to Christ and find our salvation in him, we are established as more than human, with an eternal destiny to live forever with him. What can mortals do to destroy that eternal connection with the God of the cosmos?
So, time. It will continue to be a hassle in the short view. In the long view? Eternity is coming, and we will spend it with our Lord.
Get your salvation ticket today. It comes through Christ, and it’s available to all who would follow him.
