Our faith is the catalyst in every aspect of our life. Even as we face natural storms that cause use to seek shelter, so shall the storms of life cause us to exercise our faith! For our faith in God pleases Him and causes Him to move on our behalf. However, our doubt diminishes His infinite power and creates chaos in our lives. And so we must be mindful to always "Stay in faith" and to "Shelter" or take refuge in our faith in God". Case in point, we must remember that no matter what is a happening around us, we cannot allow it get on the inside of us (mentally) and contaminate our Faith! God is faithful, and so we must stay bold in FAITH!

It's so easy to allow our light to grow dim amidst our daily trials and tribulations. But we must not lose hope because Jesus is the Light of the World, and that same power to shine bright despite opposition looming in the darkness is within us! Thanks be unto God that we don't have to weather our storms alone. For He has given us the Word as our Weapon and His Promises of God as our protection! We don't have to live in the darkness when our steps have been ordered and our path illuminated for us to see! So when the cares of life attempt to cloud your sight(mind), let your LIGHT SHINE!

There are times when we question the storms of life because we become so emotionally driven failing to shift our mindset to embrace God's intentions. We look at the storm instead of to the hills from whence all our help comes. Still, we fail to realize that the storms of life are to build us up and not tear us down. The storms of life are to prune us, prepare us, and propel us into our greater. This is why we must examine our storms from a spiritual perspective instead of a natural one to embrace the blessings and the lessons that are strategically embedded throughout our faith journey.
