Don't Sweat the Storm if You Know Jesus

I live in North Central Florida, and it's not uncommon to have high speed winds with hurricane-force gusts from time to time.

There are some good Scriptural applications:

1. Storms

Jesus doesn’t promise to calm every physical storm as He did in Matthew 8:23-27, but He reminds us that ultimately (eternally) all the storms – whether physical, emotional, or spiritual - will cease (John 16:33).  

See "We're Overcomers."

2. Houses built on the Rock

No matter what happens to us physically, if we've built our faith on Jesus, we'll survive "spiritual storms" (Matthew 7:24-27). 

See "Rock Dwellers."

3. “Like a mighty wind”

On Pentecost, God sent His Spirit to indwell us, guide us, and teach us and His coming was “like a mighty wind” (Acts 2:1-4).  

See "Holy Spirit, Divine Translator."

We can let the power of God’s Spirit give us inner calm whatever storms we face.

"My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives…Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." John 14:27

I'm praying all my readers stay safe in the spiritual storms of life as well as the physical storms.
