Five Minute Friday - Give

This morning left me seriously contemplating whether or not I had a thing left to give. Seriously. It found me wondering if I even desired it. And so I did the only thing I know to do, I sought the answers in only Place I know. I smiled knowing that three years of storms makes one well able to find Shelter. And so, as I searched for the verse that fell flat on my heart, I asked Him....give me what I need.....and my attention was caught in Acts chapter 27. The Storm. God gave Paul a promise. And He fulfilled it. "So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as He told me..." Yes, just as He has said. And that gives me breath. I see God working in the pages of the verses left for us to read. Left to give us hope. Left to show we are not alone. Left to give rest to the others in the storm. Thankful.
Stop

  1. It is so true that the storms teach us to run to the Shelter for our protection. "it will happen just as He told me." is such a comfort and a reminder that He is always with us.Thank you for sharing.

  3. This reminds me of the song, Oceans by Hillsong. "Your grace abounds in deepest waters, Your Soveriegn hand will be my guide, where feet may fail and fear surrounds me, You never fail and You won't start now!" God is with us in the storm!!

  4. I have been in a similar place to you many, many times over the last few months. I wasn't a believer (I believed in 'something' but not Him). I then had an experience which led me to strongly believe. Someone told me I'd find comfort in His words exactly when I needed them....since then, I've had three separate occasions where I needed help/guidance/strength and I've opened the Bible at random and exactly the words I needed to read have literally jumped out at me from the page. It's too unbelievable to believe (but I do believe!).....loved your post....a fellow FMF-er
