God sends different kinds of storms in our lives. He sent a correction storm to Jonah so he would obey. There are perfecting storms. We may be doing everything right, but God wants to shape us and mold us in the image of His dear Son. Each storm has a purpose and God’s hand is in it.
The disciples were in God’s will. Jesus put them in a boat out in a bad storm. He could have avoided the storm, but look what they would’ve missed – Jesus walking on the water and calming the sea when they were terrified.
Jesus is watching you in the storm. He knows what you’re facing. You may not feel it and may think God doesn’t care about your situation, but He has power over the storm. How many valuable lessons would we have missed during storms?
Someone has said there is never panic in heaven. Every storm has an end. If Jesus put you in the storm, you know He’s coming for you. He will deliver you. We have to hold on to that.
