Dancing in the Wind

It's been fairly windy this week. We've had several storm rush through, even bringing much needed rain. It was quite something to watch the trees "dancing" in the wind. They may be stuck to the ground, but that doesn't stop them from dancing in place.

What about us?

When we are stuck to the ground, especially in a place not of our choosing, and the wind comes along, do we dance anyway?

Tony Evans wrote, "If you want to have joy, then celebrate the Lord regardless of the circumstances."

That is what we need to do—what we NEED to do. It is what takes our eyes off the waves and puts them on Jesus. It is what reminds us that He is our strength of life, our Forza di Vita.

When you come before the Lord in prayer for the storms in your child's life, in your life, come first of all dancing in praise. Put your eyes on Him and remember who He is.

For He is—

—our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult.

Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Psalm 46:1-3 (AMP)

So, when the storm comes. Hold your ground. Keep praying and trusting.

Dance in place.
