You can choose to cling to The Rock in the storm.
Those without Him have no choice. When the storm hilts, they complain, whine, rage and are frantic, because they have no one greater to come to the Rescue.
Soldier, when things seem to explode or collapse, what do you do? Is prayer the last resort, or the first thought?
If you are meeting with the Lord regularly and if you are in The Word, you are in tune with the gracious whisperings of the Indwelling Holy Spirit. He immediately points out the choice of taking God at His Word. He points out the need to roll the burden onto Him. He reminds The Soldier that underneath are the Everlasting Arms.
My observations as a lawyer are that most Christians have not learned to follow the Lord. Few have decided to take up The Cross and follow Him. Most will say that He is the Rock of Ages, but so few have experienced Him as such.
Soldier, you must decide what you want. If you will follow Him, He will lead you into security, freedom and remarkable Peace. But, He will lead you through the fire and through the flood.
No exceptions.
So, tell Him you will follow him no matter what. There is no other way for Him to be real to you. Close to you. Can he come in and sup with you?
Tell Him aloud.
Today.
