A Voice In The Storm
On the porch visiting with you today, talking about the Voice in the Storm. The last couple of days I have been in contact with a good friend of mine that always speaks straight into my life. Whenever he calls it is a breath of fresh air, and always gives me things to think about.
I was talking with him about everything that seems to be going on in my world. Us having to leave the farm, us hitting the road, quarantine, our online business, animals etc. Things that seem to be effecting me and my every day activities.
Through to conversations I have come to a couple of pretty real ideas for me. First I believe in YHWH, and I am a disciple of Jesus. I don't push my beliefs and understanding on anyone, I'm just saying this is the directing that my perspective lines up with.
I believe that there are so many times in our lives when we cry out to God to help us because we are in the midst of a storm. You even see memes about "don't tell God how big your storm is, tell the storm how big your God is".
I view it a bit differently. I believe that our storms are internal, and they are created through what we allow them to be created of. When there are outside things happening, we choose how we respond. We choose what we give the authority to make us feel a certain way. That is one of the most amazing powers that we have in this existence.
Once we allow all of these things to effect us and stir us up inside, now it looks like a storm. Our brains are loaded down like a tired computer, and we can't make heads or tails of anything. When that is happening, we couldn't even hear ourselves think about a good idea, or a way to fix something.
That is how we get caught in the storm, and we can't even hear a voice in the storm. Whether you believe that the voice you are looking for is your own, or you are listening for something from your God.
It is a life long practice to learn the discipline of being able to have a clear mind while in the middle of a storm, or even to prevent the storm in the first place. With the state of the world these days, I am sure there are plenty of storms happening! For me, I am working to clear my mind and to settle down. To be calm and move forward. I'm listening for the Voice in the Storm.
Be well
