We have had alot of storms lately. So many in fact that I am kind of tired of all the wind, thunder, lightning and storms. And why did I list wind first…well where I live now, that seems to be the first things that whips up and gets unruley. My pastor asked this Sunday if the wind in our “storms of life” is good or bad for us…I like what the bible says about it in James…
James 1:2-4(MSG)
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
I don’t know about you but when I am going through a storm I can’t always deem it as “pure joy” or a “sheer gift”. Most of the time we bellyache and whine our way through it, only to find out in the end it made us better, stronger and better equipped to survive in our current environment. So the next time you face a storm in your life, remember that the winds that blow you around in life are there for the sole purpose of making your roots grow deeper fuller and stronger in that firm foundation you were planted in!!!
