Hurt. There is so much grief around
me right now sometimes it gets difficult. It’s a storm for many people. It is
not just a little rainstorm but a down pour; one that is truly taking people’s
lives. This has been very challenging to
watch. I hate seeing people I love hurting.
Circumstances lately have cut me to the core. So much so, I don’t know
how to pray about it. Praise God that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.
I was crying before the Lord one
day when He showed me a vision; I was in a place like the Antarctic. It was icy
everywhere and my friends and close families were standing on the ice and it
was breaking and dropping them into the freezing water. I cried out saying “Help,
Lord I don’t feel safe!” God heard my cries and showed me that although I thought
I was standing on the ice as well, I was actually standing on Rock. He told me
that I was safe because my foundation was built on him and that I was to pull
people out of the water and bring them up onto the Rock; Jesus of course. Matthew 7 tells us that a man who builds on
the rock will be the only ones standing when the storm comes. He showed me that the ONLY FOUNDATION THAT
WILL STAND IS HIM. That’s it. Sadly, it’s easy to build foundations on things
we think will hold us, our job, our spouse, ect. But everything except Jesus
can fall. He also showed me that I have
to make sure I am grounded with Jesus to be any help to anyone. If I am also
standing on ice it does no good to grab someone just to take them down with me.
I have to have Him as a firm foundation.
This storm has brought up hurt and
fear in me but God has reminded me where I stand. He loves me so much and as
long as I cling to him, my foundation won’t crumble. The circumstances haven’t gotten any better. In
some cases probably worse but I am going to keep grabbing people and pulling
them onto the Rock, pointing them to Jesus!
