YOU WERE NOT BUILT TO BREAK

Welcome back!!!!!

Typically before I leave work, I sit down and look out the window to catch the sunrise, and on this particular day, as I was sitting down looking out of the window, I noticed something. I found myself lost in a trance watching the palm trees sway back and forth as the wind blew. I know it sounds like something simple, but as I watched the trees I felt God begin to drop something in my spirit.

For one, I noticed that no matter how hard the wind blew the trees simply adjusted and went the same way the wind blew. I also began to think about how many times I saw palm trees in extreme weather conditions and they all simply swayed back and forth. THEY WOULD ALWAYS BEND BUT NEVER BREAK.

When the wind blows hard against palm trees, it actually strengthens the roots of the tree. They always come out of every storm stronger than before.

So I want to leave you with something on today. No matter what we go through in life, we are built to withstand every storm we face. Granted, we may bend, but we are absolutely not meant to break. Everything that the Lord brings us to, is set up for us to win and come out stronger in the end. God literally wants us to be victorious in everything that we do, so if that’s the case, why would he not create us in such a way to be able to withstand tough times?

The next time you are in the middle of a storm, I want you to remind yourself of these four things:

-God wants you to win

-God paid a heavy price to make you victorious

-You have an advantage in battle

-God gives you authority to win

“So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me?”  Hebrews 13:6 (AMP)

Until next time, have a blessed and prosperous week!
