Storms
Kanye West said what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. It’s true. But that process, where you are being made ‘stronger’, is tough. It’s long, exhausting and often the frustrating, breaking thing that gets us down. Lets the air out of our tires, makes us lazy and ineffective. And until Jesus comes or calls us home, those tough times don’t just disappear, they are a fact of life, a condition of this reality we are in.
So you have two options. Give up, or weather the storm. How do you do this? Turn to the God who gives shelter whenever and wherever you need it. Jesus is our hiding place. Hide in faith. He is an inviting shelter, because he is Man, and so has compassion towards men, and a joy in their salvation and safety.
God Will Swallow Up Death Forever
[25:1] O LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
[2] For you have made the city a heap,
the fortified city a ruin;
the foreigners’ palace is a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
[3] Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
[4] For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
(Isaiah 25:1-4 ESV)
Turn to Jesus and let Him stand in the face of danger, the eye of the cyclone in your place.
I’m pumped for 70′s night tonight, the place looks awesome, cant wait to see everyone dressed up and dancing 
I might even bust a few moves myself.
Keep trusting Jesus. Royce.
