Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Rain and rainbows, sun and clouds, hot and cold. Weather, seasons, and temperatures may change. Your perspective on the weather changes as well. But My perspective on you is steady and never changes. You appreciate the seasons and the cycle of nature. I created the seasons of planting and harvesting, reaping and sowing. Your life also has seasons and cycles. You start out as a seed, then seedling, then become a mature plant. You grow with Me at your side, nurturing, protecting and caring for you. You will experience periods of stress, drought, and tempest, but remember, I am still with you. I am here to help you buffer the storms of life. If I kept you in a glass jar, you would be safe, but you would not be strong. To grow and mature, you must learn to defend yourself from the enemy’s attacks. When weeds try to choke you or pests try to weaken you, stand strong in the power of My Word. Strengthened by My peace, love and grace, and grafted into My vine, you will not only weather the storm, you will be stronger for it. Look for My promises in, through and after challenging times. The rainbow is coming.

When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” Genesis 9:16 CJB

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! I Chronicles 16:11 CJB
