You can be sailing along through life, making progress and enjoying the trip, when out of nowhere a storm arises. In seconds you are overwhelmed, Hugh waves pound and then launch you mercilessly into the air. Water pours relentlessly into your boat faster than you can bail it out. Howling winds whip you around and drive you far off course. You lose your bearings and your hope. The gaping jaws of doom start to shut around you.
No one is immune to the storms of life. Even if you are doing all the right things and headed in the right direction, storms will find you. The question is not if you will face them, but how you will respond.
Storms are inevitable. Sometimes following Jesus leads us into storms. Storms are tests of faith. Jesus goes with us through the storms. Jesus can handle the storms. We need to ask.
- Matthew 7:7, 7:11,
- John 14:14, 15:7, 15:16, 16:24,
- James 1:5, 4:2.
