WEATHERING THE STORM OF LIFE.. God did not say that the issues of life won't come our way but that He will see us through such issues. A classical case of such storm is recorded in the scripture. (Matthew 8: 24.) There will always be problems in life. However, God doesn't give us problems we can solve so that He can manifest Himself in our lives. Satan uses events such as wars, killings, poverty, ill-health e.t.c. to instill fear (False Evidence Appearing Real) in us. However, the Bible assured us that many will fall by the sides but none will come nigh us. (Psalm 9:7) EFFECT OF STORMS. Storms causes people to lose precious things/belongings (Luke 8:23).
