It is of an utmost truth that life is filled with ups and downs. Things do not work out the way we've envisioned them and when this happens, we tend to get saddened, wearied, worried, and depresses. We most times think that's the end of our world. The flash news is that NO! That's not the end because you have greatness within you. You are created for success and engineered for accomplishments therefore, your life's journey continues irrespective of the challenges you are going through now.
There are many storms that you might probably go through in life. Those storms however are not to get you killed neither to make you a failure but to build you up, mold you, make you strong and utmostly make you a victor. A gold in a raw form cannot be valued until it pass through accustomed fire. A meal is not yet meal until it has gone through some processes. You are not a man until you face storms of life. Jesus Christ wouldn't have been dignified if he hadn't gone through the storm of the cross and suffering. Nelson Mandela might not have been honoured and dignified if he hadn't gone through the storm of bondage. Fruits and various plantations wouldn't have been so valued for food if they hadn't gone through the scorching sun or the beaten rain and a turbulent wind and weather. Your glory is in the process. Do not despise the process. They are necessary places for your divine accomplishments.
You might apparently find it hard to stand tall probably because you think your storm is very turbulent. If so, remember these truths...

1. Know that God is working on your case.

2. Understand that everything is working out for your good.


3. Know that the best is at hand.

4. Understand that where you are today isn't the end.

5. Know that you are in a process.

6. Understand that where you are today is a necessary place you need to be.

7. Know that you'll not die but will only get stronger.


Afterthought
God is not saying that he will halt your storm. God didn't halt Joseph's storm but the grace to conquer and stand tall in it was given to him. Apostle Paul was given a thorn in the flesh. He prayed thrice about it but God had to tell him that "his grace is sufficient for him and His Power is made perfect in weaknesses". I do not know what your storm is or are. I have mine so do you but irrespective of the storm, learn to stand tall in order to be victorious at the end. God bless you.
