The imagery of a storm best describes the chaos,challenging struggles,turbulence and trials of life because we all have experienced storms and have seen their ravaging power. We have all experienced life events that brought us devastation and great suffering. It just seem natural to compare compare life’s trials and difficulties to storms.
We All Face Storms In Our Lives
” Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you ” (1 Peter 4 12 ).
Suffering, trials, troubles, are the way of human life. Such experiences happen to every individual whether believer or nonbeliever. The scriptures says that God cause the sun to rise on the evil and the good,the rain on the just and the unjust. ( Matthew 5 : 45) in other words, we all experience the same benefits of life and we all encounter the same hurts, troubles, and trials. They all are part of the human experience.
The mark of our character is not whether they encounter the storms of life,for everyone will.The true mark of character is how we face and handle the storms when they come.None is exempt from life’s disappointments, pain or sicknesses, loss of the death of loved ones.Just as storms pass so do our sufferings, hurts,trials, troubles.
Stillness In The Storm
The “Eye of the Storm” there is a calm still spot right in the center of the storm or hurricane as the storm rages around, there is rest in the eye. So it’s when the storms come raging around us our minds should be calm and emotions stable because in the eyes of the storm there ìs rest eventually there will be changes. Whatever our storms may bring to our lives experience, we will surrender our minds to meditation and listening for the voice of God because He will be the voice in the midst of our storms.
Very well written! We all have troubles. It’s how we handle the troubles that make us who we are today.

No matter who we are, or where in the world are. We all will be face with the storms of life both spiritual and physical that will threaten to overwhelm our faith. In the eye of a hurricane the is calm, our creator wants to give each and everyone of us that calm and peace as we walk through our storms of live. The bible let us know that we are not alone Jesus is with us, the song writer state he is our anchor that keeps our soul stead fast and sure as the the billows roll, we are fastened to rock that cannot move, ground and firm in the savior’s love. IF we don’t face the storms of life how can we testify to others how the Lord brought us through. Jesus promises that when we “pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God” (Isaiah 43:2, 3).
Take God at his word!!!!
