MY WORD FOR JULY 12 IS TURBULENCE!

MY WORD FOR JULY 12^TH IS TURBULENCE

American Airlines Fight 980 was traveling from Brazil to Miami carrying 136 passengers when it was hit with turbulence.  The turbulence wasn’t just simply a bump in the air it was a large smack.  It caused passengers to fly up in their seats and smash into the ceiling.  The crew was caught by surprise.  Six of the flight attendants were treated by firefighters after landing.  A flying food cart hit one crewmember.  Passengers described the incident as total chaos, a terrible experience, totally scary. 

Turbulence hits us when we least expect it.  The time of confusion disrupts the flow of our lives.  It interrupts the peace that we are living in.  Turbulence agitates us and causes the pressure to change in us.  It is unpredictably what some will do when threatened with turbulence.  When this violent change begins don’t let it have power.  Don’t let the agitation remove your peace.  It is up to you how you resolve and rid yourself of the turbulence. 

When hit with the shift of change due to turbulence go to God.  Ask Him to remove the turbulence or allow you to deal with it.  Ask him to give you peace even during the change.  When we have a personal connection with the Lord He will calm the turbulence.  Go to your quiet place and be at peace until the airflow has become calm again. 

Romans 8:28 NASB

  And we know God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 

Philippians 4; 6 and 7, NASB

 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Dear God when my word is full of turbulence help me find peace.  When fearful chatter is in my mind, guide me not to listen and to only listen to You.  You are the peace in the deepest part of my heart.  Be there for me when I am overwhelmed with difficulties.  During 2012 whisper encouragements in my ears, so that even turbulence will not be able to rock my world.
