Last Friday when we checked into our condo the weather was looking pretty iffy. We drove through what seemed like monsoons and did not ever look like they were going to give way to clear skies anytime soon. As we checked in, unloaded, and unpacked I walked out onto the balcony thinking the weather was clearing up around us. The skies still looked grey but did have the slight promise of clearing up soon. As I looked closer I saw that the storm was still hear, I was just looking at it from a different perspective than I was before.
The higher you are the better the perspective of the storm you have.
In life there are going to be storms. That is a truth that none of us can run from. There are going to be a season that things happen and it seems like the pressures of life will never let up. You are never going to be able to breathe again. Nothing will ever seem normal again. There is no end in sight for the downpour that you are standing in the middle of. That means you are looking at storm from the ground, from your perspective.
If we strive to live our life on the higher ground that God has called us to we will see the storm from a different perspective. That does not mean we will miss the storm, just we can see where it is at and that it will not last forever. I challenge you right now, if you are walking through a stormy season then start climbing. Climb into the Word of God, climb into prayer, climb into worship, and climb into His presence.
For He is the only true refuge and safe place during a storm.
