"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:6

Meaning of storm, a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow. A tumultuous reaction; an uproar or controversy: 
Move angrily or forcefully in a specified direction:

The word storm is in the Bible in 119 

Storms can come when we least expect them.  Many can come with complete knowledge allowing you to prepare for the worst... When I think of storms I think of Florida where in my lifetime I have weathered many violent storms. 

As I think about these storms, I have witnessed the devastation they can cause on life and property. In life, there are storms we face that rage within. 

Let’s look at the storms of life that we feel in our soul… It starts with a distant rumble. We can see grey clouds moving swiftly across the sky… Lighting crashing and bolts of light furiously light the dark sky. The winds pick up speed… And we hear the sounds of the rumbling get closer and closer … Everything in its path is showing signs of being battered and worn…  

The human soul will hide in fear thinking that it will not be able to stand the violence felt. But when our soul retreats and goes deep. Something amazing happens we find God's gift. He instilled a resilience and a hunger for life in each life He has created... as soon we find Him there these storms lose their strength and soon die. And our soul finds a strength we did not even realize existed. It’s at these times we began to understand the beauty of our Heavenly Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

He is our rock, our anchor, our Savior. Find Rest in Him when you face any storm life may throw your way. Get anchored and Feel Him in your soul….  

Its Him, It's always Him.

And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. Matthew 8:24
