A phone call in the wee hours, a malignant tumor, a police cruiser at your door, a child addicted to drugs-if you live long enough you'll be confronted with "the day of disaster." And it's the strength of your relationship with God that will dictate your response. One author points out that God's "disaster-preparedness kit is found" in Psalm 31:24 NIV: Be strong. Because God is fighting for you. You must know God, know your convictions, and know how to tap into God's unlimited power. Don't let your pain shut you down. Take the broken pieces and offer them to God... chose to live with love. A closed heart isn't worth fighting for. Hope in the Lord. Put no stock in emotion, circumstances, or chitchat....Place your hopes and dreams at the altar.....No matter how long I've spent in God's workshop my progress is proven only in the moment of peril. We prepare in advance so our responses are involuntary... There isn't a situation, a temptation, or a question where Ephesians 6:10 doesn't apply: 'Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power' (NIV). God isn't telling you to be tough on your own.... rely on His strength and let Him do for you what He knows is best.
In the day of my disaster.. The Lord was my support. 2 Sa 22:19 NIV
