Faith When It's Windy

Faith is... holding on...




      Tonight we are expected to have a windchill factor of -5 to -15 degrees.   Brrrr is one word for it.  The wind just runs right thru the body down to the bone.  It makes it feel colder than it really is.
      Life is full of windchill moments that can break us down to the core too.  Burdens, like financial demands, illness, or loss of someone close, can strip us of our grip on life's perspective.  As the caption illustrates, we must cling to our faith that will sustain us.
      2 Corinthians 4; 7-9  ''But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.''
      Is your faith stronger than the winds of this life?  If your roots are deep, there is no need to fear the wind.

  3. My pastor friend in Carrollton, GA, just this week shared on FB:
    "I long for the day when we put as much faith in God as we put in the weatherman when it comes to his/her predictions." No sooner does "possible ice or snow" come out of his/her mouth than we are all on our way to the grocery store for bread and milk." Such true words. Thank you for your post, my STRONG friend...who has faced and conquered many fierce winds. Love you, T.
