I will not be DEFEATED; this too shall pass! For I have a Spirit of FIRE...within. A fire that burns so deep to succeed for God; and to bring others into His most glorious LIGHT; that I cannot fail; will not FAIL! I know that I am a work in progress. That if there were no TRIALS; STORMS; I would already be PERFECT; and would no longer need to be PERFECTED...through God! This is just another TEST...in my walk. One that will bring forth GROWTH and ELEVATION...in the Body; and will only make me STRONGER...in the end; once I PASS IT! For when I am WEAK; God is made STRONGER...in me. I am not ALONE; and neither are you...Brothers and Sisters of the faith; Women and Men; whom may be enduring HARDSHIPS; TRIALS; STORMS...on this day; at this moment. May we continue to LISTEN TOO and OBEY...the Spirit of God within us; whom is directing us; our path...through the storm. You see...we may not be able to see whats waiting for us on the other side; but through Gods GUIDANCE; He will lead us out to the CALM. All it takes is FAITH...and DETERMINATION TO NOT GIVE UP. Whether or not you can see the outcome on the other side...folks; dont doubt that God can see it for you; what may not be in your view/vision to see right now. Just step out in faith today and watch God work His miracle in your situation/life! I choose to BELIEVE; that my CALM...is in the distance. I choose to believe that my God has already worked it out on my behalf. You have to know that He will do it for you too! A THORN IN THE SIDE...Brothers and Sisters of the faith; Women and Men; is a reminder that we are not there yet. That we are still a WORK IN PROGRESS under God and Christ. AFFLICTIONS...keep us on our toes; knowing that we need God each and everyday. That we cannot do it on our own; but through Him; we can ACHIEVE and ACCOMPLISH...all things. May you embrace your WEAKNESS; so that when you get that second wind; you know that it was Jehovah...whom has given it; Amen; be blessed! © Shatia Story ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Psalm 34:17-22 17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. 20 He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. 21 Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Nahum 1:7 7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Psalm 91:1-16 91 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— 10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 12 On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. 14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. 15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 12 I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. 3 And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. 5 On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses— 6 though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. 7 So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2 Corinthians 5:1-7 5 For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. 4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
