NOT FOCUSING ON THE STORMS

Scared, depressed, and feeling hopeless?
Feel like nobody is there to help?
As for me,I refuse bluntly to focus on this storm
It is not important enough
The growling and roaring on the outside makes me tremble
This harshness and fierceness of this nature seems no one has ever experienced before now
When Jesus is my focus
Why should I be afraid?
The shakings are frightening,
Seems no end in sight to the bombardment of wickedness
Where is the way of escape from this Miry clay of sadness and pain?
I say though, I shall not be moved because I know He shall deliver
He has promised and He never reneges on His word
He has said until the end of time
He will neither leave nor forsake me
That is why I can run to Him and be saved
What He says He will do, He always does
His name is called Jehovah Sabaoth



“Exodus 12:51 And it came about on that same day that the LORD brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.”



Psalms 31:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.


Psalms 32:7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.


Psalms 32:10 many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.


Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.


Isaiah 25:4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.


Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.


Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

So much truth here. We must remember where our strength comes from - where our focus should be.
