What To Do In The Storm

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57

Brace your mind with the Word of God.

Meditate on scriptures continually, memorize them, and declare them out loud when you go to sleep and when you wake up. Here are a few that personally encourage me…

… who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24, NKJV).

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death” (Revelation 12:11, NKJV).

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5, NKJV).

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11, NKJV).

What does meditating on and declaring those scriptures accomplish? It braces your mind and helps you focus on God’s Word in the midst of your circumstances.

One of my favorite scriptures is Job 8:7 (NCV). It says, “Where you began will seem unimportant because your future will be so successful.”

When I’m in the middle of a storm, I don’t often feel the reality of that promise. I don’t think to myself, “What I’m going through is, in the big scheme of things, small and unimportant. My future will still be successful.” But it’s true, nonetheless. That’s why bracing your mind with God’s Word is so powerful! It reminds you of what’s true. It reminds you that no matter what you face, God has a good plan and a high purpose.

So, stand in faith today. The message of the Christian faith isn’t about being a victim, staying stuck in depression, or living in despair. The message of the Cross is victory! And you have an anchor that’s sure and steadfast. His name is Jesus. And He’s taking you to places of perpetual victory (1 Corinthians 15:57)!
