“And the Lord said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim My name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” ~ Exodus 33:19, NIV
“Yet I totally trust You to rescue me one more time,
so that I can see once again how good You are while I’m still alive!” ~ Psalm 27:13, TPT
Where is the Silver Lining in My Storm?
I’m learning, Lord, that You are the silver lining when the storm clouds billow and threaten destruction over my life. You are the light in the darkness. The glory of Your abiding presence creates the brilliant outline surrounding the charcoal gray of the storm.
Yes, Lord, it is because of Your presence in the storm that the silver lining appears.
You have promised to never leave us nor forsake us.
Your Word tells us that You dwell in the dark cloud, that You spoke to Job multiple times out of the whirlwind. Wow! We tend to distance You from the darkness of these storms because of Your goodness.
But clearly the light of Your presence creates the shadow in the darkness.
And that is amazing.
That is the silver lining — we are not alone. You are present working everything together for our good when we love You and are called according to Your purpose. Everything. Especially when it’s hard to find any good at all.
That’s what makes You so awesome.
The Silver Lining of God’s Presence Appears at the Darkest Moment of the Storm
You are true to Your Word and when we can’t figure it out, or understand why, we can fully trust and put our confidence in You because You are faithful. We can rest in the knowledge that You are for us and not against us, and that You are putting all the pieces of our lives together in an extraordinary tapestry of beauty.
And when the storm clouds loom over the horizon, if we’ll watch and wait and expect, the silver lining of Your glory will appear right at the darkest moment.
Because that’s who You are, Lord.
That’s who You are.
In Jesus’s Name I pray,
Amen

This means so much to me! I saw black clouds with a silver lining over the mountains the morning my daddy was killed by lightning. It was so bright that I pulled off the road and prayed that God would give me strength for whatever was coming!
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful reassurance from our Father to you. Thanks for sharing Norma.
