There is So much negativity In this world. In politics, on social media readily and it seems the world is coming to an end. All is lost—everything is terrible. So much negativity ...but we are different. In Jesus though it’s different. We can command positivity, speak life. Stand firm. Stand ON the rock, stand on the Bible. If we are rooted in His word, in His presence in His love in His hands NOTHING can withstand us. Think of the impact of those words. Say them again. If God be for us WHO can be against us?
I live on the coast. In a hurricane prone area. In life, storms will come. This is certain. These words remind me of a palm tree in a hurricane. There are gail force winds swirling round and round and blowing as hard as they can and the top of the tree is bending and flowing being beat with the wind and the rain but that trunk of that palm tree if it is strong it is rooted it is firm it is grounded deep in the soil and if it is strong it will stand firm like a rock. It reminds me that in our lives it’s is certain and constant that storms will come. But it is during the storm that matters. Are we just good and pretty on the outside? So we put on a beautiful cascade? Or are we so deeply rooted in Gods word and his love and standing firm on his rock? Bc if we are we can endure every single storm. And like the palm tree after a hurricane it is stronger than ever before.
Root yourself in the right things. Dive deep into the word, praise God not only in church but daily. Let Him Shine brightly transparently through you to others. Speak positivity speak life and be the light.
Romans 8:31
If God be for us, who can be against us.
I Peter 3:10
For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.”
II Cor 4:6
For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
