Have you ever found yourself stuck in one of life's storms? and no matter how hard you try no matter what you do, it seems that you can't make any headway.

so many times the storms in our life we didn't prepare for them we didn't plan for them we didn't ask for them we didn't even cause them they just suddenly happened.

 I want to talk to us this morning about hidden blessings in the storms of life. each of us this morning is in either one of three situations. you are either headed towards a storm or you are just coming out of a storm or you are in a storm right now? but whatever your situation god is in control. storms come suddenly but God is not surprised.

 I still believe that things can turn around for me. I still believe that this is not my final position. I still believe that my family can get better. I still believe that if I lose this job there is another job for me. still believe that my marriage is not over. turn to your neighbor and say you got to keep your hope up somebody says I believe.

is there anything you believe in? that you sweat for, that you work for, that you'll lay before that you'll commit yourself to is there anything that you love other than yourself.

 just because we have a problem is not an indication that God doesn't love us. our faith will be tested at different times in our life. if we weren't going to have any problems we wouldn't need any faith. that's what faith is for. faith takes us through the times that we don't understand and helps us come out victorious on the other side. you may be going through something but the good news is you're going through you're still moving, you're still alive, you're still breathing, you're going somewhere, you're going through. you're not devastated in the middle of you're going through and guess what when you come out on the other side you're going to be stronger than you were when you went in and you won't even smell like smoke.,

 we get disappointed in the way that God does certain things we get disappointed in the people that don't help us along the way. but just because you're disappointed in people don't jump off the ship and drown in the sea. just because people let you down don't give up on god who never will. just because you lost a job don't stop trusting that God is my provider.

 sometimes you have to go through something to really get your insight to find out who you really are? to find out what you really got? to find out that you're tougher than you thought you were? to find out that you can do more than you thought you could do through my eyesight I connect with that which is around me, not that which is within me. and sometimes I cannot be delivered by that which is around me. I can only be delivered by that which is within me. if I look around me I see circumstances. if I look in me I see hope.

 so sometimes in order to really get your focus you have to shut down your eyesight. to build up your insight shut your eyes to what you see. and turn on your insight into what you believe.

 you can't help victims when you see yourself as a victim. you have to announce your recovery to yourself. you got to command yourself to get up out of this hospital bed and start to move it.

 Clarity, because when you get in a storm you become real clear of what matters and what does not. when you get in a storm you're not trying to say oh my god let me get my Gucci bag. No, no when you're in a storm you get clarity as to what matters your priorities come into view when you're in a storm.

 so if you can't control something and you can't get control of it you have to at least embrace what you can. there's only so much you can do and you cannot completely eliminate it. but you can't control it so why are you going to worry about it? why are you going to stress about it? if there's something that's completely beyond your control you've got to detach from it and not let yourself get stressed about it.

dreams without goals remain dreams, just dreams. and ultimately fuel disappointment. dreams without goals yearly goals life goals daily goals monthly goals hourly goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency you understand?

someone's gonna get the candy in life. there's always candy in life. that pinata eventually always breaks down. do you want to be the person who was there, in the beginning, hitting as hard as you could and sacrifice it and never get the candy? or are you going to get something for your pain? are you going to get something for your effort are you going to get something for this sacrifice. you're making you got to get something for this pain you got to stick in the game until the candy comes out and then we all get to celebrate I promise you there's going to be a payoff for you.

 the big challenge is to make something out of each opportunity. now if winters are always going to occur in our life shouldn't we benefit from them too. come the next winter you could be on the inside looking out, seated by a warm fire the company of a good friend and those unique feelings of security in spite of the circumstances of the season.

don't go by what you feel. your feelings don't always tell you the truth. your emotions will try to convince you that it's never going to work out. your mind will tell you all the reasons it's not going to happen. look how big those obstacles are walked by faith. it may still be dark out but I know you start the day in the dark, I know that means light is on the way. keep doing the right thing you're in a new day you pass midnight it maybe three in the morning. I've learned the longer it's taking the better it's going to be. God is getting you prepared for the blessing he's already prepared for you. when it's taking a long time that's because the blessing is bigger than you can handle right now. he's getting you stronger, more mature, more confident. don't be discouraged because it's been dark a long time that's a sign God is about to do something that you've never seen it's going to be bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling than you've ever imagined.

 you have to be honest with yourself and truthful with yourself. and I think a lot of times what it is is for me I was expecting things from people that I wasn't giving to people. and so that's very selfish. you know so I had to look at myself and say you know what this part of my personality needs to be changed it needs to be fixed .so it's that reality that you have to have with yourself and that that truthfulness and not knowing that it doesn't make you weak by admitting these things. it doesn't make you less by admitting these things.

 begin to know now that the night will pass. and as you learn to grow and progress you will better understand how to handle every night and better live every day. don't be afraid to face the facts of life. it is not negative to understand that the winters always come. don't clip the word impossible out of the dictionary.

 don't say I don't want to hear the problem I don't want to see the difficulty. don't show me the weeds. don't say anything negative only see the positive that's foolish. there is a thin line between positive thinking and kidding yourself. and remember there's also a thin line between faith and folly.
