Our Heavenly Father has warned us about the wrath to come. But at the same time, He has offered His divine protection and provision in the midst of the storms we face. By God's grace He offers His immediate care for us in the midst of every storm. We need to simply enter into His gracious protection where He promises to shelter us and lift us above every circumstance. He will remember us as He leads us to a new beginning after the storm.
Our sin and rebellion against God will always bring about the righteous storm of God’s judgment. But God has provided a way for us to find peace and safety in the midst of the storm. Our faithful participation in God’s provision will secure our salvation through every storm.
Our blatant rebellion against God has had incredibly negative consequences. But our righteous obedience to God will always bring God’s favor. We need to do all we can to overcome evil with good in the power of Christ.
God designed us to walk with Him under His blessing.Our sin disrupts our walk with God.We need faithfully walk with God.

Behold, my servant shall act wisely; he shall be high and lifted up, and shall be exalted.
