Even in the best of life’s seasons, we all go through storms. Everyone experiences trials, tribulations, and on occasion, catastrophic physical storms.
No one is exempt from storms: neither great nor small, rich nor poor. Not the educated and famous, and not the uneducated and obscure. Not the sinner and not even the saint! As Jesus said,
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Storms happen for various reasons. Some examples are:
Satanic storms – Storms which happen simply because we have an enemy who desires to kill, steal and destroy.
Sudden storms – Storms which happen because we live in a fallen world affected by sin, and storms just erupt with no rhyme or reason.
Self storms – Storms which happen because of bad decisions we make. They’re DIY storms, if you will.
Storms by association – Storms that we face, not because of a bad decision we have made, but because of a bad decision made by someone else. Specifically, it’s made by a person whose life is inseparably intertwined with ours, and whose poor choices bring a storm into our lives.
Sovereign storms – Storms that God allows into our lives. These are not sent to harm us (that is, they are not tragedy or sickness), but rather these storms test the strength of our character and faith. They are used to help us mature in Christ. We often encounter these storms when we are being stubborn, prideful, or refuse to submit to God’s will for our lives.
But let’s be honest. Regardless of its source, when you’re in a storm, what’s most important is not the cause of the storm – it’s how to survive it!
