Is worry or anxiety or fear gripping you? How can you stop hanging onto those feelings and let God's peace replace them?

When {worship} makes no since...

Proverbs 31 Daily Devotion

How many of you have praised Him in the storm?  I have found that just like Suzanne when you are in the darkest of places you naturally look for the light. In your heart you know that He is the light. Why is it then so hard to praise Him in the storm sometimes?  I have found only one answer to this question... selfishness.  Only when I can actually get my focus off of my self and my circumstances and look up to the Light to refocus my eyes do I find strength to hope and praise Him. The refocusing is similar to when you walk out of a midday matinee from the dark theater and walk out side to the bright light with your eyes straining to refocus, you've been there and understand the pain of such refocusing. It is uncomfortable at first then you get use to it.   I know many of you have been in the same cave of darkness and hopelessness and unfortunately because we live in a sinful world,  you will find yourself there again.  Just remember in the dark times to refocus your eyes on Him the author and finisher of our faith.

Be blessed!
