There are many different types of storms:

 • Blizzards

 • Hail

 • Heavy rain

 • Ice storms

 • Lightning

 • Thunderstorms

 • Wind

No matter the type of storm, we all know that a storm is violent, many times accompanied by thunder, and disturbs everything and everyone. It can also cause major damage.

Storms in life do the same thing. What area of your life is out of place? What storms are you facing right now? Is it your financial life? For example, you live from paycheck to paycheck? Is it your health? Your doctors cannot solve your problems. Is it your family? Brokenness and hurt are the norms. Is it your love life? Your relationships always end for no reason. There are many many storms that rock people’s lives.

Know that you are not alone.

Jesus’ disciples were in the midst of a great storm and were afraid that they were going to die. As it is written:

But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

(Matthew 8:26)

Maybe you heard a lot of bad news today from your family, your doctor, your job, etc. But I want to tell you this: don’t forget that Jesus is still present today. He is in the boat with you.

This storm of today will come to an end through your faith.

God does not lie, and He does not abandon His people in the midst of hardships. Know that you can always call upon Him and “wake Him up” as the disciples did. And just as He came to their rescue, He will come to yours.

May the God of the Bible bless you.
