Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. It’s the day before the “biggest blizzard in decades” arrives in Virginia, and whether that’s true or not, remains to be seen. No matter what man says, or how many ways he tries to create panic, I always wait on the God of all Creation, who says, “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail?” Only God knows how many snowflakes will fall and how long the snow will last. Only God knows if He’ll add ice to the equation or if He will raise the temperature and cause it all turn to rain. He’ll do whatever He wants to do whenever He wants to do it…and I trust Him. Sometimes I wonder if the Most High God ever laughs when He sees man trying so hard to predict His next move. No matter what comes, I’m as prepared as anybody can be, BUT my preparations won’t be what will be credited for what “saves me” in the storm – it will be the Hand of God and His Protection that will sustain me through the snow, hail, rain, or sunshine, and I’ll Praise Him through it all. Isn’t that the way you see it, too?

When you Trust the Will of God in all things, you don’t allow the noise of the crazy dark world to penetrate the Heart. In fact, you GUARD YOUR HEART with everything you’ve got from all those distractions NOT intended for Good as some would like you to believe. Predictions about catastrophic storms or the overthrow of the government, a swamp filled with corruption, or a secret “cabal” don’t even enter your mind because NONE of those things glorify the God who holds it all in the palm of His Hands! Sadly, I don’t think people even realize that when they spit out facts and theories AS IF God has filled them in, they’re actually spitting in the face of God while they boast about His next move they know nothing about. My God Sees all things. My God Knows all things. My God Controls all things. My God ordains ALL the leaders, and my God causes nations to rise and to fall. My God “gives and takes away” and He numbers the days of each Life. When Habakkuk the prophet questions God about injustice and violence, God said, “Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even IF you were told”. One thing I am sure of, NOBODY knows the future and NOBODY knows the Mind of God. With that said, why would I worry my “pretty little head” about all those crazy predictions that only God has control over? You want peace? That’s how you get it!

I guess I should have more patience with all the ones buying into all the madness. Some simply don’t know the Truth, and some are determined to write their own version of it. It should come as no surprise, after all, God said, “Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.” That pretty much explains where we are today in terms of all the crazy predictions NOBODY really knows anything about…only the Most High God with a Master Plan NONE OF US would believe EVEN IF He told us.

We might get a blizzard that will blow my mind, or we might get rain. Either way, the earth is thirsty in Virginia, and every flake or drop will be a blessing. Only God knows for sure what’s coming. The wise prepare but never wonder “what if” as if God has left the Throne temporarily. If He cares about the birds of the air, HOW MUCH MORE does He care about you and me?

God is enough for me…He always has been, and He always will be.

How about you?
