behold, angels come!

No matter what storm has raged this past year,

Despite any challenge that presently confronts,

The Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent One

Is with you

He cannot ‘not’ be at your side

He is everywhere

Testing and trials are but for a time

Our Savior has gone before us,

Enduring tremendous trying storms

Yet there was a day when it ceased

'Then the devil left Him,

And behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.'

Matthew 4:11

The Message Version

states

'The test was over.

The Devil left.

And in his place, angels!

Angels came and took care of Jesus' needs.'

Likewise, God has appointed angels

to care for your every need

And as surely as aide was sent to our Savior,

He sends strength our way

To bless us after the storm –

to keep us in the midst of the storm.

I saw this poem today and had to share -

May it speak to your spirit and bring refreshing hope

THE EYE OF THE STORM

 from Streams in the Desert

"Fear not that the whirlwind shall carry thee hence,

Nor wait for its onslaught in breathless suspense,

Nor shrink from the whips of the terrible hail,

But pass through the edge to the heart of the gale,

For there is a shelter, sunlighted and warm,

And Faith sees her God

through the eye of the storm.

"The passionate tempest with rush and wild roar

And threatenings of evil may beat on the shore,

The waves may be mountains, the fields battle plains,

And the earth be immersed in a deluge of rains,

Yet, the soul, stayed on God,

may sing bravely its psalm,

For the heart of the storm is the center of calm.

"Let hope be not quenched in the blackness of night,

Though the cyclone awhile may have blotted the light,

For behind the great darkness the stars ever shine,

And the light of God's heavens, His love shall make thine,

Let no gloom dim thine eyes, but uplift them on high

To the face of thy God and the blue of His sky.

"The storm is thy shelter from danger and sin,

And God Himself takes thee for safety within;

The tempest with Him passeth into deep calm,

And the roar of the winds is the sound of a psalm.

Be glad and serene when the tempest clouds form;

God smiles on His child in the eye of the Storm”
