Recently I had to fly to Iowa to see my son wrestle. This required that I have an overlay in a state where the temperature was 30 degrees and it was snowing. While the plane was still able to fly, it required that once the passengers were on the plane they stay inside the plane while the technicians outside sprayed some chemicals on the plane to deiced the plane. The technicians handled their job with care. They were very careful to make sure they fully covered all the wing span and you could see that if one person missed a spot the other would come behind him and ensure that the wings were covered with this chemical.
As I sat there, I remember thinking how grateful I was for them being so careful, and of course my brain started thinking about our Christian walk. Repeatedly the bible tells us to be aware of the snares of the enemy. God pleads with us to stay rooted in him. He reaches out to us when he sees us going astray, yet repeatedly we fail to prepare for the storms of life.
What if those plane attendants slacked off on their jobs and refused to follow the instructions of the airlines safety commission. What if when one missed a spot the other was not careful to cover behind him. I could poossibly not be here writing this post.
Why then do we as Christians wait till the storm hits to begin to prepare for it. God didn't call us to run from the storms because He already has a plan to walk us rough he storm,however that plan needed to be developed before the storm hit.
Do you know that nothing takes God by surprise? Do you know that God knew that the storm was coming? He desires the intimate moments with us before the storm hits. Those are the moments when He speaks into our hearts and says "I am with you." Those are the times when He builds our strength and we aren't even sure what He's building it for. God desires storm prepping prayer from us.
The bible says we will soar on wings like eagle. In order for our wings to soar like Eagles wings, we need to make sure that we are prepping them for the ice storm. We need to make sure that the deicing is happening in preparation for the storms. God's love for us says," spends time with me, for I desire to prepare you for everything that comes your way."
God desires his peace to reign in our hearts. He not a get panicked God. He's a "I got this God." He's given you all you need to make it through any storm, are you spending your time in preparation to hear his voice.
HES THE STORM PREPPING GOD.
Seek him him today, so that when the storm hits, you've already learned to recognize His voice.
