My God, in him I will Trust

     Yesterday I told you about my message from God (pink clouds!) What I didn't tell you was that, on that same night five minutes after we seen those pink clouds, storm clouds covered them up.
It was looking like it was going to be a doozy of a storm.   As we drove the very short distance to the grocery store, I could see the line of rain where it had not reached us yet. It was freaky.  I tried to get a good shot of it, but this was all I got.
Sorry for the blurriness.

As you can see we were literally on top of this storm and the clouds above us looked like they could bust open at any time.  There was flashes of lightening and I was sure we were going to get rained on.
We somehow managed to skirt the storm the entire way home. I don't think I have ever been so close to a storm and not even get wet. It was pretty surreal.
     At this time I realized something very profound.
     Or God just gave me more content for my blog :) Which I have been praying for. You know the old saying, "The will of God won't take you, where the grace of God will not keep you."  So if God really did want me to start this blog and tell people about Jesus, he is gonna give me some content. So far, He has!
     Back to the profound thing he showed me.
     For the past, maybe 5 years, things have gotten progressively worse in the world. In the past year things have went from worse to much worse. Persecution of Christians is at all time high, being slaughtered daily in some parts.  Antisemitism is back in full force around the globe. I am daily hearing of killings and beatings of Jews. Even our country is persecuting Christians for not having the same world-view. We are called horrific names, daily,  for not agreeing with what they are doing/saying.  It feels like a godly- worldview is vanishing. The ideals that once made this country great, have been run into the ground. And now the icing on the cake is ISIS. The worst terror threat in the history of the United States.
     I am not going to lie. I am scared. I am hopeful, but I am scared. I believe we are living the days of Christ's return , but woah, how bad is it going to get? That is the million dollar question.
     Then came this storm. A storm that by all means was going to hammer us with rain, thunder, and lightening. But.... then it didn't.  I couldn't help but draw parallels between the storm and the world today.  And then God reminded me of a verse. (love it when he does that!)
     I just looked it up to get the exact verse and then realized that the whole chapter is appropriate.
 Its Psalm 91. I won't post it here but I encourage you to look it up. The way I knew the verse was through a lady on youtube who does scripture songs. 
                             This is the song! It is so beautiful and makes it easy to memorize.


Thank you for visiting Seeds of Hope and Praise!! I pray you leave with more Hope than you came with!
