Decisions

I had a Conversation with my Brother a few weeks ago and he dropped some knowledge on me that gave me great insight to the topic of going through a Storm. In life I am sure you have heard of the term " The quiet before the Storm" Many use this to describe or bring a more vivid take or picture on a discussion or situation that one may have experienced or have some relation to. While having a discussion about life with my brother he made a profound statement that stuck with me. He said and I quote " Yes it is True that there is a Quiet before the Storm, but many people fail to recognize that there is also a quiet after the Storm as well." After hearing this My Mind and spirit went on a good swim with this statement. As I Pondered on the question of why would there be a quiet before and after the storm, God stepped in and told me. See when it's quiet you can think and hear. You have no distractions. There is a Place of Peace that you have that allows you to make proper planning and important decisions that will be vital to your survival both within the storm and afterwards. Storms are not only dangerous during it's action but the aftermath can be equally or even more devastating than the initial landing. The point that was made with this understanding brings light to how important decisions are in our lives, likewise how we choose to make those decisions are greatly significant as well, because as we know through our own life's lessons every decision that we have made was not the right decision. To be honest if you are able to see a storm coming it can be quite alarming and fearing, and even during the storm with the winds, rain, thunder, and lightning fear can easily be harvested as well. With that said I now understand why some storms happen abruptly and others don't. Many of us can be so fearful at times that if you seen it coming you would be so anxious and nervous all wrapped in fear that you wouldn't make it. See the word of God says to be anxious for nothing. Philippians 4:6 and over in 2 Timothy 1:7 it states that God did not give us the Spirit of Fear but He did Give us the Spirit of Love, Power and a Sound Mind. So when making our decisions we must make them in the absence of fear but yet in the Presence of Faith. And just in case you did not know Faith and fear both work the same, but yet they are the total opposite of one another. One is of God and the Other is of Satan. See you can believe and faith things into existence or you can worry and fear things into being as well. It's all about the choices and DECISIONS we Make!!! The Quiet that we are blessed with either before or after the Storm is a part of that sound mind that God Gives us to combat fear. With the Sound Mind we cannot just only think Clearly But also Hear Clearly from The Father as well...Hence the Term "SOUND" Mind... Peace and Blessings To all
