Today’s Reading: Psalms 66
God has many blessings for us and is ready to pour these upon you, when you and He are in alignment.
When you’re about to embark on a breakthrough, God is preparing you and strengthening you. But as the breakthrough is about to happen the enemy sees the future of you and wants to shake you.
An example would be right before the storm happens, the world gets calm. The thunder rolls. The lightning strikes and then the rain comes down. The rain comes down in sheets. Once the rain has finished and the thunder and lightning roll away, the coolness of the after storm comes in. The freshness of the day begins. All of the dust and the debris from before the storm is washed away.
Now you can go into the next day or “after storm” with refreshment and clean and clarity.
The enemy tries to hinder you and frighten you before the storm comes so that you can hide and be fearful of the after storm. But God, send angels and encouragement before the storm, during the storm, and after the storm.
“Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.” Selah Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man. He turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There did we rejoice in him, who rules by his might forever, whose eyes keep watch on the nations— let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept our soul among the living and has not let our feet slip. For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.”
Psalm 66:1-12 ESV

In this psalms passage David is given joy for his after the storm. David is showing Israel that before the storm Israel was frightened. David gives the people a memory of before the storm and the after storm. He shows them the good deeds of God.
Sometimes when we are in the midst of change and the midst of hurt and in the midst of despair we can forget that God is ready for us on the other side. There may be obstacles that come your way, but these obstacles are only there to hinder you from your blessings that are on the other side of the obstacle.
May God continue to give us these angels and the words of peace and understanding and Solace in the before the storm, during the storm so that we can see the blessings of the after the storm.
