When God is at Rest During Your Storm
“The Lord said unto me, I will take my rest and will look from My dwelling place like clear heat in the sunshine and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.” Isaiah 18:4 ( KJV) My situation was already bad. But things just went from bad to worse. I had prayed. I was still showing up in church. I had read that devotion. I had even wrote that devotion. And yet, things had gotten worse.
