Just about two years ago, I had a
dream that I was in a room filled with people.
As I walked through the room, I passed a window and noticed what
appeared to be a strong storm on the horizon.
While I was looking at the storm, I noticed that it was becoming
stronger and moving faster towards my location.
Simultaneously, I heard someone scream that the storm was actually a tsunami
and was about to hit the building I was in!
In a moment’s notice, chaos filled the room and people began to panic –
screaming and running – looking for places to hide. I,
too, ran towards a corner in the room and ducked down with my hands over my
head. I was so scared, so I prayed that
God would protect us from the tsunami.
Instantly, I looked up and saw angels coming down from heaven and
wrapping their arms around each person in the room! No one noticed the angels, but me. Immediately, my fear was replaced with a sense
of security and peace. The storm ended
up hitting the location, but no one was harmed! The only affect from the storm
we felt were rain drops. Then, I woke
up.
Although, it was a dream it stuck
with me. Was God trying to tell me
something? Was He reminding me of His
constant companionship and His attentive ear to my prayers? I couldn’t pinpoint exactly the meaning, but
when I find myself facing storms or trials I’m often reminded of this dream. It gives me comfort and encouragement. For the person reading this, I know that going
through difficult times can be a strenuous process. During these tough seasons of life we may feel
like God is not hearing or answering our prayers. We may feel hopeless and sometimes, doomed. But, I write today to encourage, as well as
remind you, or inform you that God is right there with you in the storm. He is providing exactly what is needed to
protect, provide, and shelter you during the difficulty. You may not always see His provision or feel
His presence, but you can take comfort and know that He has not and will not leave
you to defend for yourself! He’s encamped angels around you. They are covering and protecting you.
We need to remember that God is
our constant companion. Even when it
seems like our situations are hopeless, God is there. Even when we do not recognize it, God is
already sending aid to us in the midst of our trials. Regardless of what the situation looks like,
you are victorious! You have God’s favor and protection all around you. God has already made provisions specifically
for you. Remember, if God is for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)! We have the honor of being connected to the Almighty
God! This means that we are covered by His love, mercy, and protection. Even
in the storm, God is sending His wonderful blessings to you. So, regardless of the situation, know that
you walk in victory. #BreakOut
Points to Consider:
·
We may not be able to prevent storms from happening,
but in the midst of them God is able to protect us from the brunt or full force
of them.
·
In difficult times, don’t forget/neglect to
pray.
·
Even though others may not see or even believe
that provision/protection is on hand, hold on to your faith. Your faith may save others.
