Open the Storehouse
.
If only we would recognize every hardship as
something God has chosen to prove His love to us, then each trial can usher us
into a place of His shelter, divine rest, and sustaining power

“Have you entered the
storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve
for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?” - Job 38:22-23
We often view our disappointments and trials
as obstacles we just have to plow through in order to get back to “normal” — whatever
that is.
Our trials have been purposed and intended by
our wise God.
If only we would recognize every hardship as
something God has chosen to prove His love to us, then each trial can usher us
into a place of His shelter, divine rest, and sustaining power.
In today’s Scripture,
God says, “Have you entered the storehouses… which I reserve for times of
trouble?”
Job, of course, refers to weather storehouses
stocked with rain and snow.
But God also has vast storehouses of grace
and hope, peace and mercy, reserved for you.
Have you entered those storehouses?
Open the storehouse prepared and reserved for
you before the world began.
Lord, I think I have
rolled right past many, many storehouses of Your grace in my life.
I have suffered alone
in my pain and perplexity instead of entering what You have reserved for me in
my moment of need. Open the doors for me today, Father.
I want all that You
have for me right now.

is built on Biblical truth and the foundation of Jesus Christ. Since 1979,
we've been advancing disability ministry and changing the church and
communities around the world. The Joni and Friends International Disability
Center (IDC) serves as the administrative center for ministry programs and
locations across the United States which provide outreach to thousands of
families impacted by disability around the globe.
We
present the Gospel of Jesus Christ through all of our programs around the
world. We train, disciple, and mentor people affected by disability to exercise
their gifts of leadership and service in their churches and communities. We
energize the church to move from lack of awareness of people impacted by
disability to including everyone into the fabric of worship, fellowship, and
outreach.
