WHERE'S YOUR HOME AT STORM?
WE'RE USED TO SEE ON TV (TELE NEWSPAPERS) TRAGED NEWS WHEN THERE ARE STORMS, TEMPORARY, TSUNAMIS, HURRICANES, TORNAS. NATURAL PHENOMENONES NOT ALWAYS PREVIOUSLY DESTROYING CITIES, HOUSES, CONSTRUCTIONS IN MINUTES AND WASHING EVERYTHING WHERE THEY PASS. Leaving a feeling of desolation, despair, panic, fear of tomorrow. FOR SOME MATERIAL LOSSES, FOR OTHER, FAMILY LOSSES AND OTHER STILL ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT TO SAY TO CONSOLATE THESE PEOPLE?
ALSO, THE COMBINATION OF IRREGULAR CONSTRUCTIONS AND NATURAL PHENOMENA ARE GENERALLY FATAL OR LEAVING SEQUELS. WE SEE PEOPLE LOSE EVERYTHING. Even the very life.
The truth is that this disastrous combination can affect our lives and, unexpectedly, as in the passages you will read below.
• WHERE IS OUR HOME, WHICH ARE OURSELVES, AT THE TIME WHICH STORMS OF LIFE ARRIVE?
• WHERE ARE OUR BASES FINISHED?
• Who do we resort to when tragedies knock on our door?
• WHO CAN WE TRUST OUR HELP?
• Where do we go?
• What will we look like after the storm has passed?
• What will happen to us?
• How will we recover from this storm? How to rebuild?
• WHERE TO GO WHEN EVERYTHING IS LOST?
THE REALITY IS THAT THESE STORMS COME ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE QUESTION IS:
1. HOW WILL WE PREPARE WHEN IT PASSES?
2. WHAT DO YOU DO TO MINIMIZE YOUR DAMAGE?
3. WHAT DAMAGE CAN THESE STORMS CAUSE IN OUR LIVES?
4. WHAT WILL OUR REACTION BEFORE HER? Are we safe or not? WILL IT MAKE IT SEQUELLE OR NOT?
5. WHAT OUR POSTURE BEFORE THE UNEXPECTED?
6. Will we learn something from her or not?
7. OUR FAITH WILL BE TESTED. WILL WE BE APPROVED OR NOT?
8. Can we get us back? WITH WHO'S HELP?
9. ARE WE STRONGER OR NOT?
10. To whom shall we give due thanks for such a great deliverance? OR COMFORT?
There are times when the storm comes without "weather forecast" as in the case below, unexpectedly. It's so strong, it looks like we're going to succumb. It's so desperate that there seems to be no solution. WINDS ARE CONTRARY AND WE DO NOT EXIT. HOWEVER, REMEMBER: JESUS IS IN THE BOAT OF HIS LIFE, SLEEPING ON A PILLOW KNOW WHY? He doesn't need to worry, Jesus is the answer. It is the solution. He is expecting to be awakened by your distress call.
MARK 4: 35-41
Jesus appeases the storm
(Mt 8: 23-27 Luke 8: 22-25)
35 And when it was evening, he said unto them, Let us go over to the other side.
36 And they, leaving the multitude, took him with him as he was in the boat; And there were with him other little boats.
37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were rising over the boat, so that it was full.
38 And he was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow, and they awoke him, saying unto him, Master, dost thou not perish?
39 And he aroused and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Be still, be still. And the wind stilled, and there was great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are you so shy? Don't you have faith yet?
41 And they felt a great fear, and said one to another, But who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Hearing the Word of the Eternal Yahweh, try to practice it. BUILD YOUR HOUSE ON THE ROCK. INTEMPTERS WILL COME. BUT, THEY CAN'T SHAK YOUR HOUSE (LIFE), BECAUSE IT IS FIRMED ON THE ROCK THAT IS JESUS.
MATTHEW 7: 24-29
(Luke 6: 46-49)
24 And whosoever heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto the wise man that built his house upon the rock;
25 And the rain came down, and rivers flowed, and winds blew, and fought against that house, and it did not fall, because it was built on the rock.
26 And he that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, I will liken him to the foolish man that built his house upon the sand;
27 And the rain came down, and rivers flowed, and winds blew, and fought against that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.
28 And it came to pass that when Jesus had concluded this discourse, the multitude wondered at his teaching.
29 Because he taught them as having authority; and not like the scribes.
