The Storm as God’s Servant

Scripture:

“He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.” — Psalm 107:29

Personal Reflection:

Storms frighten me because they feel uncontrollable. But Scripture teaches that storms serve the purposes of God. They are not tyrants—only servants.

Contemplation:

What if the storm I fear is the instrument God is using to strengthen and sanctify me?

Puritan Quote:

Richard Sibbes said, “God can make a straight stroke with a crooked stick.”

Prayer:

Lord, take the storms that shake me and use them to steady my soul upon You.

Application:

When difficulty arises today, whisper: “This storm belongs to God.”
