Verse 23, Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.
Storms are unpleasant events that occurs in life. Storms always comes to destroy properties and life and has the potential to set life backwards for a number of years. Storms have destroy states, counties and towns etc. and the individuals who were impacted some lost everything and so much they were literally back to zero and having nothing. This is the devastating effect of storms and every time storms are talked about, it is not a desirable event or situation anyone will like to experience.
Unfortunately, storms are occurrences that can not be put away with and everyone has to experience storms. Storms can also be defined as challenging and trialing situations or times in a person life. But in these posting, we do not only identify the storms of life but also how to deal with the storms of life so it does not negative impact and destroy a person life.
As the verse 23 talks about, Jesus got into a boat and the disciples of Christ followed Jesus into the boast. As refereed in the verse suddenly as they were in the boat heading to their destination a sudden storm rose against them. The storm purpose was to do two things, delayed them to their destination and secondly possible kill them so they can never reach their destination. And in so doing preventing them from been effective in the work they were doing for God and also cut their life short so they can never finish the work they were doing for Go and also live their life to the fullest.
In the same way this world or life every person is living, is full of storms or challenging and trialing situation, that comes on a person. Something these storms are gradual and sometime occur suddenly. A prime example is been diagnose with a sickness and not curable and as such having to deal with the disease the rest of the person life. And this disease has come to stay with the person, and it might not be sudden but could be because of the lifestyle of the individuals and not changing their lifestyle is the result of their disease, in such a case is gradually creep down on such an individual. It could equally be sudden as you go to your job and you are called in by your HR manager and told to live. And suddenly you are out of a Job and lost of income generating a lot of sudden hardship some of these been not having money for food, a place to live and even meeting car payments. All of these situation can be liken to storms or defined as storms of life. Because they are unpleasant, undesirable and has the intent to delay, destroy, regress a person life.
Today, are you facing storms in your life, do not be discourage because it is the norm and happens to everyone and no one is exempt from storms. The key is how you behave, who is with you during your period of the storms.
