"So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons' wives. Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it."
Genesis 8:18, 20 NIV
Noah had just survived the storm that destroyed the earth. Before that, he suffered years of ridicule for building the ark, the people thought he was crazy. You would think Noah would be downhearted and depressed after all the suffering.
But after the storm, Noah worshiped God!! Noah praised Him and sacrificed to Him for His goodness and mercy of saving Noah and his family!!
How do we respond after suffering through a storm? Do we fuss and moan or do we worship Him? Do we thank Him for being there with us through it all and bringing us to the other side?
What we do after the storm shows where our heart was during the storm! How will you respond after the storm so that you can Be Blessed!?

Two vs one…
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV
Sometimes life is hard. We don't always live on the mountain top. And when you're down in the valley, you need someone to encourage you, to pick you up, to pray for you.
We all need a Christian friend that will love us, support us and call us out when we're wrong. Do you have someone like that in your life? I am fortunate enough to have my best friend, who is also my wife, to fulfill this role in my life.
Even Jesus surrounded himself with good men. Who are you surrounding yourself with? Who are you calling on when times get tough? Find someone you can depend on and you too will Be blessed!

Love…
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39 NIV
Sometimes I need to be reminded of God's love. I feel alone and afraid, like my prayers don't go past the ceiling.
But I sit down, put on some praise and worship music and push myself into His word. The verses jump out at me and the praise engulfs me. He does love me and I am never alone.
If you need to feel His love…keep praying, keep reading, keep praising, keep worshipping!!! He has never left you, His vast love covers you and you will Be blessed!

Jesus wept
"Jesus wept."
John 11:35 NIV
A simple verse of two words but reveals a great deal about our Savior. "Jesus wept" when his friend Lazarus had died and the family was mourning. He met them where they were and had empathy for their emotions.
Sometimes I think that my big God doesn't care about little me and my problems. Sometimes I need Him to cry with me and comfort me.
But the scripture goes on to say that that the family was upset and cried out to Jesus. He answered their prayers and Lazarus rose from the dead! The miracle was coming, but on God's time so that He could be glorified!
Are you waiting for the miracle? Do you some empathy from your Savior? Jesus sees you and will weep with you! Hold on….Wait for the miracle and you will Be blessed!
