Rise Above the Storm
As I reflect on Habakkuk 2:1 (NLT), “I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guard post. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer my complaint,” I am reminded of the importance of perspective. In the midst of life’s challenges, it’s easy to lose sight of who we are and what we have to offer.
A Call to Obedience
Many of us have been facing difficulties in our personal and professional lives, and even in our relationships. Fear and uncertainty have crept in, causing us to focus on the past rather than the present. But God is urging us to move forward, to behold the new thing He is doing. At this critical juncture, our obedience is paramount.
Don’t Be Blinded by Hardships
The enemy’s plan is to distract us from the bigger picture, to keep us from seeing the blessings hidden beneath the surface. But I urge you to Look Again. God is at work, even in the midst of turmoil. Remember, trouble often comes to hide the blessings. When we shift our focus away from the situation, we begin to see that all things are working together for our good.
The Eagle’s Posture
I am reminded of the eagle, which soars to new heights when faced with a storm. This is the posture we need to adopt in the face of life’s challenges. Through prayer and worship, we can rise above the storm, our perspective changing as we align ourselves with God’s will and ways.
Take Your Rightful Place
Today, I encourage you to reclaim your position as a warrior. Position yourself through prayer, worship, and a renewed focus on God’s promises. As you do, I guarantee that you will begin to see your circumstances through the lens of your Heavenly Father. The seemingly hopeless situations will no longer appear the same.
A Prayer for Focus
Dear God, thank you for opening the eyes of our understanding, allowing us to see what You see. Help us to stay focused and in tune with You at all times, even in the face of challenges. May we understand that every obstacle we face is an opportunity for You to work it out for our good. Nothing is ever lost when You are at work in our lives. Amen.
