Reflections.....


WaterSound Beach, Fl.

Psalm 34 is a great chapter for those who are seeking God, departing from evil, doing good works and pursuing peace. He promises deliverance for those who are pure in heart and a contrite spirit. Verse 19, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all."

Wow! I am so grateful that God is just a whisper away, in our good times and bad. There are times in my day where I am feeling really good about things and then all of a sudden wham! The devil throws a sucker punch right in those vulnerable spots where I have let my guard down. In the natural I want to strike back and retaliate, however God's word would have us respond differently so that our witness is not lost and his light shines through us.

The scriptures remind us in Ephesians 6:12 that, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers and rulers of darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places."  If I can remember this, then I can remain calm in the storm and trust that he will see me through.

Is there a storm you are going through today, that you need to surrender? I know there is for me.....
