TOPIC: Open the Storehouse
“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?” – Job 38:22-23
We often view our disappointments and trials as obstacles we just have to plow through in order to get back to “normal”—whatever that is. But it isn’t so. Our trials have been purposed and intended by our wise God. If only we would recognize every hardship as something God has chosen to prove his love to us, then each trial can usher us into a place of his shelter, divine rest, and sustaining power. In today’s Scripture, God says, “Have you entered the storehouses…which I reserve for times of trouble?”
Job, of course, refers to weather storehouses stocked with rain and snow. But God also has vast storehouses of grace and hope, peace and mercy, reserved for you. Have you entered those storehouses? He doesn’t give you the key until the moment of your need. Open the storehouse prepared and reserved for you before the world began.
Lord, I think I have rolled right past many, many storehouses of your grace in my life. I have suffered alone in my pain and perplexity instead of entering what you have reserved for me in my moment of need. Open the doors for me today, Father. I want all that you have for me right now.
