“No matter what
you face today – economic collapse, unprecedented pandemic, violent disaster,
incurable illness or simply a forlorn spirit, know this, your God will never,
never abandon you.”
It was once said, “Sometimes the Lord calms the storm.
Sometimes he lets the storm rage and calms his child.” A story is told of an
artist’s competition where the painters were asked to paint the most serene picture
of a peaceful scene they could imagine. They all set to work. A few weeks later,
at a great banquet, the finalists were revealed. One after the other
magnificent scenes of quiet and tranquillity were unveiled until, finally, the effort
of the grand prize winner was presented on a podium, still covered by a curtain.
“This is the most intense scene of peace I have ever
witnessed,” said the chief judge as he addressed the audience. “It reveals a heart
devoid of pain, contaminants, and fear. It shows one that he can be content in
every circumstance; a heart filled with authority, love and self-control. This,
ladies and gentlemen, is our winner.” The judge uncovered the canvas.
The audience gasped. There before them, beneath a
powerful spotlight, was exposed an exquisite painting of a most violent
waterfall crashing over the edge of a high cliff to the rocks below. Above were
ferocious dark rolling cumulonimbus clouds, spewing fierce flashes of lightning.
Spray was rising from the torrent, blown by brutal gales as water crashed over
the edge of the falls. Not a sign of life anywhere except on a narrow ledge of
rock in the cliff face beside the cascading waterfall. There, beneath a mother’s
warm wings nestled three small chicks in a roost clinging to the rock. They
were safe, warm… and at peace.
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will
abide in the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with his pinions, and
under his wings, you will find refuge. No matter what you face today – economic
collapse, unprecedented pandemic, violent disaster, incurable illness or simply
a forlorn spirit, know this, your God will never, never abandon you. He is your
provider, your safety, your guide, your healer and your peace. Come to Jesus
and he will give you rest. Underneath now, are his everlasting arms. The Lord is
your refuge and your fortress, your God, in whom you can trust.
God-tracking remaining safe and secure under the shadow
of his wings

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
I claim that you have given me not a spirit of fear but of power and love and
self-control
“Dear Abba Father, thank you that I can rest under the
shelter of your wings, even in the most violent of storms. Forgive me for
taking my eyes off you and looking down at the problems I face. I choose,
instead, not to give up but to look up; my help comes from the maker of heaven
and earth. I choose now to set my mind on things above and my eyes on Jesus. I
praise you for peace in my life, at this time. I praise you for provision,
protection and healing. I claim that you have given me not a spirit of fear but
of power and love and self-control. Amen and amen!”
If you require more prayer, I’d love to pray with you.
