Moment for Meditation, September 8, 2014- Retreat Many things can be said about the word retreat. Getting away to refresh and rejuvenate from a tedious task; running away from a problem; getting out of the fire to regroup; or just giving up. My favorite is drawing back to burst forth. I am reminded of Davids drawing back his stone to defeat Goliath (of course youll have to stretch a little to go with me here). There he was, little David, facing a great big giant. With his slingshot, he drew back the band and let go of the stone. The stone went forth with power and precision. The stone found its target and Davids problem (Goliath) was gone... dead and gone. As we face the storms of our lives, we sometimes have to do a little retreating. We have to draw away from the face of the problem to get ourselves together with prayer. We have to go back to the point where with God, we knew we were invincible. We have to get that pep talk from God that reminds us that we go through storms, we dont get lost in them. Into some lives, storms are coming. Into others, the storm is here. Now is the time to trust God with everything you are and believe that He will carry you through and there will be praise on the other side. Storms tear down, wash away, and flood our lives. God tears down our strongholds, washes away our sins and floods our lives with His Holy Spirit. Hes not worried about the storm, so dont you worry either. Let go of your stone (be it your favorite prayer, saying, song or Bible verse) and watch God direct it to its promised landing. It will impact your situation and your faith will grow from the experience. Move forward with God and He will not only change things, He will change you.
