There are many different doors in life, doors or promise, doors of disappointment, doors of chaos, doors of peace, doors of health, doors of destruction, we must brace for them before they open, because we never know exactly which one will open in our life, this is why we have to learn to be content, in what ever state we are in, like Paul over the course of his life, he was shipped wrecked, beaten imprisoned, you name it Paul faced it, and he learned to face it head on, how do we grow if we don’t face our trials? How do we fight, if we wont lift our hands in praise, how do we hear instruction, if we fail to hear His voice in the midst of the storms? We are so close the the Lord right now, in all that we go through. We are able to be touched by him when the trials and the storms come, but when we are so caught up on the storm, instead of pressing through it, we miss our window of escape, when we realize the Lord has already given us a way of escape, I find myself searching for my exit, I find myself sitting still when the wind blows, so I can hear the calmness of my Father’s voice, and when my peace come I can steady the boat and float it to safer waters. Dont lose your hope in the chaos, dont lose your faith when things get tough. Grab your anchor and toss it overboard, and let it grip the ocean floor of your faith which is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. He will anchor you, He will protect you, He will comfort you in the midst of all we go through. The time now is to hold on to the solid rock, and stay focused, don’t get distracted here, when the Lord is making you strong. Remember this too shall pass.

Amen
