Will We Survive the Storm?

There are different types of storms, weather related and life related! These trials are rocky and how you react to them is a witness for the Lord. He will give you peace and guidance so that you will be able to stand and offer hope to the lost. Today, in the deep south, the weather is really bad! We have so many trees down that you can not get to your destination without it taking hours. The power company says the power will be off until after midnight but there is another storm on the way, that may well be, worse than the one we just had. There is a lot of property damage but the loss of life was minimal. I pray for the families of the dead that they may have peace in the Lord. Our life is not our own, it belongs to our Maker. You must be ready to die and face God at anytime. Luke 12:20-21 But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."  Prov.22:2 The rich and the poor meet together; the LORD is the maker of them all.
The devil is always ready to tempt you in various ways. He is cunning and knows our every weakness.
Eph. 4:27 and give no opportunity to the devil
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
God is faithful in our times of trouble:
1 Cor.10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
John 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
God's everlasting love: 
Romans 8: 31-39
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died--more than that, who was raised--who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
To Christians, these words are life! The devil is defeated and Christ is King!!! Will you not give your heart to Him today? Lord, there are sinners that need You. They are waiting for Your truth. Open their heart today. Amen
