Going Through The Storms of Life

Storms come unexpectedly and there are not any way to prepare for them. It doesn't matter how wise you are, or how old or young you are, you cannot prepare for a storm. Yes, the newscasters will inform everyone that a storm may be coming, but sometimes there is no way to escape it, you just have to stay there and ride it out.

Well, I know someone who can walk on the water and calm every storm in our lives and the storms that come out of nowhere when the weather changes. His name is Jesus Christ. We are never alone in any storm that we are facing in life. We may not know why we are facing storms, but we never have to worry if the storm will stay long because Jesus can speak to the storms that we are facing and bring the sun out again.

When we keep our eyes on Jesus, we will be all right, but when we take our eyes off of Jesus that is when we start to sink just like Peter. We do not need to focus on the storm, we need to focus on who is walking in the storm, and through the storm with us. We need to focus on who can pull us up from the waters of life that we are sinking in just as He pulled Peter up out of the water when he started sinking.

Jesus’ peace is what helps us to be still when everything is blowing in the wind around us. Storms come to make us strong. We have to rely on Jesus to help us and give us the strength to carry on in any given situation. We do not ever know when something is going to happen in our lives. This is why it is important to have faith in God. We cannot do life without Him. He is the One who sustains us. He is the One who we call on when he'll be breaking loose around us. He is who we call on when we cannot carry our heavy burdens. He is who we call on when we lose that we love and we are grieving to comfort us. He is who we call on when we are in pain and don't know what to do. No matter what, we can call on Him. His line is never busy, He will always answer.

Everything in our lives may not be perfect, but He is. He knows our every need and wants, our every heart desire. He knows everything about us. He knows about everything that is going to happen in our lives before we do. So the next time storms come to us, we can call on God to calm those unruly storms that frighten us.

To God be the glory great things He has done in heaven and on earth. In Jesus’ name Amen.
