Praising Him In the Midst of a Storm…...
My grandma passed away yesterday after several health complications and to name the medical issues I am aware of severe Arthritis and Alzheimer. My grandmother lived in the country of Dublin, Georgia. A quiet town. I visited my grandmother every summer and we always had a nice time.
While sitting in her favorite rocking chair you could hear the melodies of hymns all day. Grandma would constantly praise Jesus. Before her eye sight withered she read her word. Her favorite songs would often remind me about having faith in Gods plan. Melodies of, "One glad morning, when this life is over, I fly away." So full of jubilation and faith. This type of behavior really blew my mind how someone that wasn't able to do for themselves as the years grew older, could be so assured with Christ.
Takeaway:
I often think as Christians we look forward to the happy times on Earth but there are times when we may endure suffering. God wants us seek him through these trials and tribulations. If we truly are followers of Christ we should believe and trust in his plan while praising him daily even through the midst of a storm.
In the midst of your storm, what are you praising Him for?
