Open an Umbrella
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★IF IT is raining outside, you may want it to stop, but you can’t
control the rain. However, you can open an umbrella. An
umbrella does not change the circumstances, but it changes
you in the middle of the circumstances. The wetness is no
longer controlling you.
God’s grace opens up an umbrella during the rainy seasons
of life so that we may overcome and have the victory even
when everything around us is wet.
The point
God's grace protects us during life's storms without changing circumstances, but changes our experience of them.
