Exposed by the Wind

.

Stories that feel familiar and touch your heart. They are the ones that build your faith!  
  You know everyone has one!

Could you allowed the wind to ruffle the pages of your life story…To expose the chapters of twist and turns? Let others view the deep highs and low? Or even hope with you for the long awaited promised victory? 

That is exactly what God did when he shared the bold Bible stories of men and women.

The Lord writes many faith exploits beginning with people knowing the agony of defeat. Silent nights of the soul filled with despair. Trouble becoming their friend. You feel their lack of hope that they may never fulfill their destiny. Be encouraged! 

God is not through writing your story and certainly not mine. 

To be honest, at times I have not loved my story. I have heard, “God gives us the exact experiences he wants for us in order to shape the destiny he designed for us.” Sorrow and trials can build into a future and a hope. Out of the ashes of so much wrong.

Life feels at times like a highway where you are stuck behind a slow car with no where to pass. You wish you were in the fast lane. Where you see your friends have traveled. But the fast lane at times has not been so great. Your character in that lane can come into unseen pressures and exposures that need work and development. The fast lane has issues.

You pray for movement and a quick lesson.  Hoping not to rewinding the scenario over and over. Waiting to pass the test. Watching others speed by. Feeling the clock tick. You know you have potential if you could just find your footing on the right path! That hidden untapped path. 

The other day I watched a video of a field in Israel. The storm blew in and exposed all of the old hidden mines and traps from a past war that was there to kill and destroy. But God showed up in the wind and laid bare the mines. It was a powerful visual of a true story of God and the wind of the Spirit! Exodus 10:19 

Those land mines can paralyze you and for some people life is lost and taken. 

Sitting on your story destroys faith and does not help or preserve the purpose with which you are intended for.

Don’t lose faith! God can redeem any mistakes, hidden dreams and even time! All of a sudden things will tick, the lane will open up. You will be in awe as you travel down your road and others will say, “I didn’t see that coming!” God’s plan is just like that. You just have to hang in there as the wind blows and exposes your path.  

So I watch and wait as hope builds and the wind of the Spirit blows in my destiny upon my life story!

I am waiting for your hope to arise in your story!

See the field? See the traps? See the narrow path of life as it moves around the path the enemy wanted to steer you? See the light of God.. it is good!

The Lord is good and his mercy and plans endures forever.
