STORMS

Let all that I am wait quietly before God for my hope is in him.He alone is my rock and my salvation my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:5-8 NLT

All this pain. I wonder if I'll ever find my way. I wonder if my life could really change at all. 

All this earth could all that is lost ever be found? Could a garden come up from this ground at all?

You make beautiful things. You make beautiful things out of the dust. You make beautiful things. You make beautiful things out of us. 

All around hope is springing up from this old ground. Out of chaos life is being found in You.........

You make me new, you are making me new. You make me new, you are making me new.
Beautiful Things by Gungor

Storms 

Storms 

Have 

A

Negative 

Connotation 

When 

We think 

Of STORMS

We think of destruction 

We think of chaos

We think of LOSS

We lose things 

In storms

Most

Things

Destroyed 

Cannot 

Be RESTORED

YES STORMS 

Bring about catastrophic changes in what we know 

LIFE should be like

WE cannot get back what we lost in the STORM

The clouds darken and the sun seems to hide it's face 

The warmth fades away

And the rain seems like it will never stop

Then the Winds come and tear apart everything 

Weak that stands in the way

The floods come and wash away what is left 

In storms 

MOST 

THINGS
DESTROYED 

CANNOT 

Be RESTORED

So I looked 

I looked outside 

And I saw how the storm 

Destroyed everything in its path

And then God spoke to me

Sometimes I have to create a storm in your life

Sometimes that's how I have to come into your life

I have to wreak havoc in your life

I have to reap destruction

I have to come and tear down everything 

EVERYTHING YOU WORKED SO HARD TO MAINTAIN

I have to come in and tear down your walls

I have to remove everything and come 

I 

start

from 

scratch

I

build

you

up

through 

that 

storm

I 

build 

you 

on 

a 

firm 

foundation

I am

YOUR STRENGTH

I am your FORTRESS

I am your PROTECTION

And I come into your LIFE

WITH STORMS

TO BUILD YOU UP STRONGER 

THEN HOW YOU WERE

WHEN YOU TRIED TO DO THINGS ON YOUR OWN

Through all the destruction, through the aftermath, I will take your brokenness, and create you new. Yes it will be how my glory is shown.
