“From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”  Psalm 61:2 (ASV)

Some days we all grow weak; we wonder how much more Lord?  We are hit with one burden after another.  We feel the weight of the tow truck that just ran us over.  The tears flow, the heart aches, the questions start.  Why?  The blame is cast, anger hits and then the choice is ours.  We can choose to fall on our face and cry out to the Lord like David, or we can call a friend, or we can grow bitter and choose not to deal with it.  I often wonder why God gives us the choice, but He wants us to freely call out to Him and grow stronger thru each battle.  He wants us to see Him in the midst of the turmoil and trust His will for our lives.  He wants to give, as my friend Joy likes to call them, “God winks” to remind us He is still there and loves us.

Recently I went thru one hit after another, sometimes several in a day, and wondered when will this end.  Each day, I was reminded of His love for me and His protection over my life and my family.  I was shown blessing after blessing, because I was watching in the midst of the pain for those “God winks.”  It’s all about where we place our focus.  I choose to put my focus on God and His plan. Rejoicing in the blessings, I am positioned to grow stronger even in the trials.   Will you join me in growing stronger in Him this year?

“Father, thank You for Your “God winks” and for protecting me in the midst of the storm. I choose to grow stronger in You.

For His Glory,
