In the Midst

Psalm 138:7- "Though I walk in the midst of trouble,you preserve my life;you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me."
    A few years ago a popular gospel song "In the Middle" chanted that while we are in the middle of our trouble we need to praise. When we see trouble on the horizon we must buffet the issue with prayer and praise as we brace for the onslaught.  When we 'see light at the end of the tunnel'; it is easy to lift our voices in joy that our trial is coming to an end; but the real Hallelujah moment is when we are in the midst of the storm.  What do we do when we are in the middle of the storm and it is black all around?  We might be tired from the trial, uncertain of the length of the struggle and possibly not seeing an end anywhere in sight; but our power comes from focusing on the might of our God and not the fight.
   Today I challenge you to take your eyes off of the conflicts in your life and narrow your gaze upon the Almighty God of Creation; he is in it to win it!
    Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day!  Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose. Be   blessed! Dr. JoAnn
