The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. (Romans 8:16-17)
Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens… (Job 38:36-37)
Someone told me that they saw this book called “Dancing in the Eye of the Storm on their parent’s shelf when they were a little kid and I thought how fitting this is for the Christian life. “Dancing in the Eye of the Storm” what an amazing thought! How different the storm looks, when we decide to dance in the eye of it.
I cannot begin to count the ways that God has used different storms in my life. There are times I wanted to kick and scream my way out of these storms. Then there were times I have found myself in the Master’s hand, dancing in joy because I knew He would make everything okay. I have enjoyed the below passage of Scripture because reminds me that God will never leave the throne during the storms in my life.
Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ (Matthew 19:14)
