The Light Behind The Clouds

This morning I watched a sermon by Cornelius Lindsey and He talked about letting God be God. 

And one of the interesting points he made is that in the midst of our trials and test we do not listen to God. We are too impatient to sit before Him and let him talk. ( I surely saw myself here .) 

Fast forward two hours later I'm spending time with the Lord on a rooftop. The weather was actually really cloudy and no sun was peeking out but as God began to speak to me , the weather started to change the sun was slowly coming out. And a few minutes later the sun was shining so brightly I couldn't look up anymore . And then a huge cloud came and covered the sun but the cloud quickly passed over. However the sun was still shining. God tried to bring something home to me through this.

In our difficulties we may not understand what is happening,  we are serving the Lord , being faithful to hand obedient to him or we are waiting on him to do something about this situation but  things are rather getting more worse than better. And then we start to question God we get frustrated even upset because things don't make sense anymore.

But who are we to question God ? A child doesn't always understand what his parent does, but the Father is still the Father and he loves his child. So God is still God despite of what we're going through. He is sovereign !

No one can tell him what to do, or say to him, 'You have done wrong.'

Job 36:23 (NLT)

He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
Dtn 32:4( NIV)

God never said this walk will be easy he more so said we're  supposed to walk down the narrow path. But he promised to always be with us and to help us.

You've been in this situation for quite a time now and  you wonder when things are going to change. You're not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.

However God says "Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them."

Job 37:21 (ESV)

Just because it is cloudy at the moment that doesn't mean that the sun is not shining. The sun is always shining !

Our afflictions are temporary but God's word lasts forever and the light will shine through the darkness. 

God will still the storm and he will cause those clouds to move, no matter what those may be.

In all this we have to keep our eyes on the true light , the light of the world Jesus who illuminates every darkness !

We have to walk in faith and not by sight, for it is only so that we can please him.

God wants to prune us and develop some things in us so that he can properly use us. 

So I encourage you to seek him even more in those times. Wait on him and let him glorify himself though all this. Continue to pray , worship and praise him . And also continue to do what  he has called you to do . Stay obedient to him ! We cannot afford to quit ! Quitting is not an option for us. We can do all things through him who strengthens us ! He is right there we just need to turn to him and let him speak.

Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness while I am here in the land of the living.

Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.

Psalm 27: 13-14 ( NLT)

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

- Casting Crowns " Praise you in this storm" 

( This song really encouraged me today to keep on going,  I thought I'd share it with you guys .)

Keep on going guys God is with us ! 

God bless you all !
