Why Is This Storm Happening: God, Do You Even Care | 57

Listen Later

Have you ever asked this question?

Are you angry at God for not doing something about your situation? 

 

When we are going through difficult situations, we want answers... to understand, to give meaning and purpose, and to somehow find comfort in them. 

Where do you go when you are in the midst of a challenging circumstance?

What or Who do you turn to?

 

I believe the real question behind the "why" of a storm is: “Lord, do you love me?” “If you love me, why don’t you do something about it?” 

 

We are called to live by faith and trust God, by believing His Word and knowing His nature and character, so we can become who He created us to be.

Romans 8:28-31  all things work together for our good…and the purpose is to be conformed to the image of Christ. To be imitators of Jesus.

Our faith will be tested so we know what has been deposited in us, to grow and mature. Circumstances will always appear bigger than you can handle. God is the answer and with Him, miracles happen.

In this episode, we will look at Jesus and the disciples in the boat in the storm, and what we can learn from this situation.

 Mark 4: 35-41

We must learn to rightly divide the Word of Truth. How to connect the dots of Scripture.

  1. God’s Word is true. Jesus is the Word and He is Faithful and True! He is in your boat! 
  • Isaiah 55:11-12
  • Psalm 46:1-3, 10 
  • Matthew 6:33
    1. The enemy is opposing you and he is the accuser of God’s character, God’s love for you and who you are in Christ.  (John 10:10)
  • Your faith will be tested and your circumstances will appear bigger than you can handle. The book of James talks about our faith being tested but also says that God cannot be tested with evil. We live in a fallen world and people have free will that will oppose us. People, our flesh and the enemy will cause hardships, but not God! He and His Word are the answer!

    • Practical example: I share what I learned in the biggest financial storm I went through while I was in the middle of God’s will for us.

    John 6:68-69
