EVEN STORMS HAVE A PURPOSE
The word ‘storm’ usually means trouble or disaster; but rarely do we envision it as means through which God can
communicate with us. When Jonah was running away from God, he boarded a ship
going in opposite direction to the place God had sent him. While at sea, a
violent storm nearly broke the ship apart. The sailors threw all the cargoes
overboard but it changed nothing. When Jonah told them about his disobedience
to God, they decided was eventually thrown overboard, the storm ceased.
If the sailors had known that Jonah’s disobedience was the
cause of the storm, they wouldn’t have wasted so much time and effort looking
for a solution.
There’s no storm in life that’s without a cause or purpose –
it may be to show us who we truly are, to show us who our friends are, to build
and make us better, to enable us understand the meaning of life etc.
Jesus replied His disciples, “He was blind from birth so that the work of the LORD might be displayed in his life” – John 9:3
