Victors not Victims

Asia is experiencing calamity after calamity. Typhoon's and flooding in the Philippines, Vietnam, India, China and Japan. Another major earthquake hit Indonesia and lets not forget the tsunami that ravaged American Samoa.

When you see this mother and child running for their lives in Manila from Typhoon Ondoy, it's easy to understand the the crucial time in which we live.

Are these the birth pains that Jesus spoke about before His return?

We must be vigilant, and steadfast in our pursuit of Godly Wisdom.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given him. But when He asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. James 1:5-8

This is a call to Faith in God...

Even in the midst of calamaty, we must trust God and not doubt. Doubt will only result in instability. Doubt makes us like the wave of the sea, blown and tossed.

Tossed=Greek_rhipizo=agitate, to disturb, to agitate the mind or passions...

Godly wisdom will give us the ability to contol our emotions so we can control any crisis. Whether it's the storms of life, or an attack from the enemy...

Godly wisdom will give us a clear perspective from His point of view, then we can look beyond the storm.

It's not what we pass through in life that defines us, but how we react to the things we are passing through.

We are victors, not victims...
