The Third Eye Perspective:

Thought For Today – ““God Has Created Your Storm’s Resolution”
At some point in time in our lives we will experience some sort of serious struggle or “Storm” as I and even the Bible like to refer to them. It is just a fact of life, that we can’t do anything to prevent nor avoid them, it is going to happen at some point. And would you believe that these storms are custom tailored just for you by Satan? Let me say that again, the storm that finds your doorstep will be “custom tailored” for you by Satan! God does not normally send storms your way contrary to popular belief. Yes, He has sent them at times when He became angry with the way His children (Christians) have behaved over the course of our existence, but those were very extreme instances. No, that would be Satan’s department. However, God will sometimes allow storms to find your specific address for a number of different reasons as opposed to blocking them when we have stayed prayed up and covered with the Blood of Jesus Christ, such as because you have lost your focus on Him. It is a proven fact that when “Christian Folk” look away from God even for just a brief moment of time, they leave themselves susceptible to the potential of a custom designed storm to show up out of nowhere on their doorstep to wreak chaos and havoc in your life. Here is another important fact about those custom tailored storms Satan sends our way, because Satan knows our weaknesses, he knows exactly what type of storm to send to be successful in accomplishing his mission. It is with this train of thought or line of thinking, that it was placed on my heart this morning to talk about “God Has Created Your Storm’s Resolution.” And AMEN goes right here!
After reading that last sentence in the paragraph above, you might think there is not any hope at all of successfully escaping those storms, am I right? I mean, how can you combat a storm that was “custom designed” to be successful, because it knows exactly how to attack you? Well the answer to that question is very simple, because with God by your side, “no weapon formed against me shall prosper.” Notice I didn’t state anything in there about Storms NOT forming? They will still form, however if you keep yourself in good standing with God, they will either be few far and between, or easier to endure knowing He is by your side and already has the ending of those Storms resolved! God will give you the strength, wisdom, and protection from the storm to keep you from being taken out by it. Sometimes God let’s His children experience a storm to teach them life lessons, such as Patience, Faith, Humility, and total reliance on Him. Because I know you like examples, I will provide you some very good examples of people in the Bible who had custom designed Storms show up on their doorstep and because of their Faith in God and their relationship with Him, emerged unscathed: Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Their “perfect storm” was the evil serpent who deceived them, resulting in them betraying God’s command not to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. Although there was some negatives that resulted from their mistake, God spared them from being taken out. (read the Book of Genesis). How about the three Hebrew boys, thrown into a fiery furnace for now bowing down to Pharaoh because they were THAT loyal to God in Heaven? They had complete Faith that God would deliver them from that situation, and He did just that. What about Daniel? He was thrown into a hungry lion’s den for not denouncing God and worshipping King Nebuccanazzer. Won’t God shut a hungry Lions mouth for you when you put your Faith in, and serve Him wholeheartedly? The woman at the well with the issue of blood for 12 years being healed, the blind man receiving his sight back, Lazarus dying and being brought back to life by Jesus Christ, The Israelites being enslaved for 400 years, and then freed, and they spent 40 more years wandering around in the wilderness? I could go on and on and on, but I think you get the gist of my examples…
What does all those instances listed above have in common with your “custom designed storms?” You could say “well, they happened to good God fearing people,” or “is it that they all survived their storms?”, or maybe even, “they had mustard seed Faith that God would protect them.” All those answers are very good and true answers, BUT the thing that they have in common with YOUR/MY/OUR storms we face in our own lives, is that God is the only author to the resolution to these storms. Despite Satan being the “originator,” he is NOT the finisher of them! God knew about them even when they were still in the early planning stages. He knew exactly how you would react to these storms. He knew also how much damage these storms would do to your life, your Faith if any, as well as the duration of these storms. Why you ask? Because He (God) is the author of the resolution that dissolved those storms! The Bible teaches us that God is the “Alpha, and the Omega, The beginning and the End, The King of kings, The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, The Ruler over Heaven and Earth (and we might as well throw in over Hell too while we are at it), That He has the power to simply speak, and healthy men will lie down and die! But also He has the power to speak and sickly and dead men will come back to life! No other God can boast this power that our Lord and Savior has! The older generations like to say that God is the Lily of the valley, the bright and the Morning Start, a Wheel in the middle of a wheel,” Meaning that He is the their/our support system like a tire on an automobile. Everything that happens, God has His hands on those situations, even when it doesn’t look like it. Not only does He have His hands ON the storms, He has already completed how the storm will play out and disperse. But the human side of us tricks us into believing that God just might have either, been too busy to notice our storm, doesn’t care about our particular storm were experiencing, has forgotten about us, doesn’t seem to lift a finger to end it in OUR time frame, and all sorts of other wrong assumptions. Maybe, just maybe God feels you need to endure that particular storm to make you a better person, or Christian. A custom designed by Satan storm, could also have a reverse effect on us in that “what was meant for bad or harm, God turned into good.” That storm Satan sent your way intending to wreak chaos and havoc on you, ended up building your Faith stronger, teaching you that you are stronger than you thought you were, or taught you patience, or to focus on someone or something else to shift the focus off of your situation, which are all GOOD things! God never said he would keep all storms from entering in our lives, He just promised us that He would NEVER leave us alone, and would walk every step of the way with us during that storm. And when we looked down and only saw ONE set of footprints in the sand, it was because God was carrying us at that point! Can I leave you with a question to ponder today peeps???
“The next time you find yourself in a storm, nomatter how big or how small, will you trust God to already have the resolution worked out on your behalf and just endure that Storm praising and worshipping Him until it is over?”
Can I get an Amen?
“Today, choose to “Ride or Die” with Jesus Christ! Afterall, isn’t that EXACTLY what HE did for US on the Cross?”
