"I will lift mine eyes to the hills. From where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, maker of Heaven and Earth. Psalm 121:1
"Rain rain, go away, come again another day." Today...it poured the rain. I knew it would and when I woke up I wasn't surprised when I saw bright umbrellas moving back and forth all across campus and happy polka-dotted rainbow colored rainboots stomping in the puddles. I like rain sometimes, but it's the thunder along with the rain that doesn't really excite me as much. This morning I woke up to a thunder storm.
A couple weeks back, I experienced a horrible thunder storm in my life. At that time, I was definitely splashing in my own puddles so to speak, instead of hopping over them with God's help. It took me some soul searching and a lot of thunder storms to really realize my need of God. And now that I have found that God is really the only cure to the "big thunder-boomers" in my life, I can praise Him during the rough times. Casting Crowns wrote a beautiful song called Praise You in this Storm and here is the chorus:
"And I'll praise You in this storm,
and I will lift my hands.
You are who You are no matter where I am.
And every tear I've cried,
You hold in your hand.
You've never left my side
Though my heart is torn,
I will praise You in this storm."
Day 5 begins sooner than you think. :)Whatever trials or tribulations you may be facing, You can praise God through your rainy days and your stormy nights. God has got your back and He's waiting for you to come to Him with everything your facing. If you let Him, He will calm the high winds and send the thunder rolling in the opposite direction.
The rain was a blessing. It showed me not only that God makes everything new in His time, but that I can still praise Him through my storms.
