Rev Dr Emmanuel O Awazie

Life is replete or filled with situations that are unpredictable, disturbing and boisterous.

Storms speak of the uncertain, turbulent and violent attacks of the wind.

Wind is a phenomenon that is pervasive, unavoidable and universal. It is said that nature abhors vacuum, implying that every space on earth that is not occupied by an object, is occupied by air (wind).

This wind (air) is often agitated either by heat, pressure or other situations to become fierce, violent and even life-threatening, as in a hurricane, and they often times become destructive.

We find situations like that in personal lives, whether regarding human health, finances, or in relationships, or in the social, economic and political lives. Here the human life is thrown into a turmoil or confusion and turbulence.

Respite and relief only come with the discovery of a positive and superior perspective.

You should therefore, learn and get into the habit of looking for the silver lining of the storm-clouds of life.

It is important to know that your storm clouds do not mean the absence of God, in fact He is Omnipresent, so, the storm-clouds prove that God is present and actively involved. They Bible reveals that clouds are the dust of His feet – Nahum 1:3.

And once you have realized that, continue to focus on the fact of His Presence rather than the dark gray of the center.

Hallelujah.
