Why
Does God Allow Storms in Our Life?
No one likes
turbulent times, but until we reach heaven, they will be a part of our life.
The underlying foundation for understanding the storms we encounter is found in
Psalm 103:19. No matter
what the apparent source is, God ultimately directs every situation, because
His sovereignty rules over all.
He uses storms
to …
Bring us to
repentance. Sometimes we
create chaotic conditions with our own sinful choices. Yet like Jonah, we’ll
discover that the Lord is always with us—even in our disobedience—drawing us
back to Himself.
Grow us spiritually.
Trials force us to rely on God’s
strength rather than our own. We learn to endure, persevere, and submit to the
Father so He can make us more like Christ.
Reveal Himself
to us. Turbulent times
give us a more accurate perspective of God and the way He works. Sometimes this
understanding comes when we look back on a storm and see how He brought us
through. Then we realize His strength was sufficient and His purpose was good.
Take comfort in
knowing that God controls your storms, and His mighty power and unfailing love
govern whatever comes your way.
Bible in One
Year: Nehemiah 8-10
