The journey of life can sometimes be stormy, harsh, and challenging. There are times that when we are faced with some difficulties, it occurs to us like that's the end of life for us. We tend to loose focus and control, and we also begin to see life as not worth living again. Well....., you might not be wrong feel that way.

_{The sky}

But have you for once looked up to the sky when the storm of life hits 👊 you? If you have done that, what comes to your mind? Well.., relax and I will tell you what I see anytime I look into the sky.

When the storm of life hit me and I look into the sky, I see a God who has made heaven his throne and the earth his footrest. I see a God who is beyond the imagination of the wisest man on earth. In the sky, I see a God whom nothing is impossible to him. Before this God, there is no Mountain and storm. Even death obeys him, winds are answerable to him, and even water listen to him.

Before now, I use to think that trees and grasses shake because they are weak and not strong enough to withstand the winds 💨 that blow, only for me to wake-up one day to realise that trees and grasses only dance in glorification of this God I'm talking about. Morning and evening, trees and grasses glorify God for giving them yet another day to remain fresh and ever green. They only use the wind as their own musical instruments while they dance to glorify this God.

Just when I was still thinking that only humans and trees glorify this God, then the birds 🐦 proved to me that they are never left behind. Every morning I wake-up to see birds singing songs of melody to this God. As they sing, they fly from one place to another rejoicing and glorifying God for making them see another beautiful day.

After noticing all these things, I came to realize that I have not been grateful to this God enough. Remember, this God values me more than the trees and birds, and he has given me dominion over them, yet they worship and glorify him on daily basis.

This God is bigger than any problem that a living soul could ever face. He is the reason I am still breathing today. When my enemies gather against me, this God shield me. He covered my shame, and because of this God, I am not longer afraid of tomorrow, because he has promised me a good future. He can take away your shame, rejection, disappointment, and burdens. Only this God gives an expected future. Guess what? No one ever called upon this God with all sincerity and get disappointed. He is the answer and the solution to whatever problem you are facing.

When the challenges of life hits you, don't hesitate to run to the God of heaven. Cry unto him because he made you and he is always ready to take away your shame. According to his riches in glory, he will supply all your needs. The only sacrifice you need to do is, be committed to him, worship him, glorify his name, and you will surely have an expected end.

I invite @patjewell, @elpastor, and @yakspeace to participate.
