Beloveds, there will be times when you have cloudy (or stormy!) circumstances in your life.
They are ordained by God, but He calls you to rise above them.
I think of it as living "above the clouds". Have you ever been on an airplane when the take-off conditions are cloudy and gloomy? However, once you break through to a higher altitude, the sky is bright blue and completely clear.
In the same way, you can rise above your cloudy skies. But not by boarding an airplane, but by being in the Word. The scriptures are God's vehicle to peace and rest. Therefore, get plenty of it. Until it is running over. Even in the worst of circumstances, the clouds will fade and your faith will soar.
So, Beloveds, in your afflictions, turn your eyes upon Him, behold His beauty, and rest in His promises.
Ps 123:1-2
To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens!
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master.......
so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he has mercy upon us
