The Storms of the Bible
The Storms of the Bible: From the Flood to Peace, Be Still
The Bible is honest about storms. It does not promise a life without wind and waves; it promises a God who is Lord of them. The deep breaks open in the flood. A tempest hunts Jonah across the sea. God answers Job out of a whirlwind, and speaks to Elijah not in the wind but in a still small voice after it. And on a small lake one night, a tired carpenter stands in a sinking boat, speaks three words to the storm, and the wind and the sea grow calm and obey him. Each page below follows one storm through Scripture, tells honestly where its meaning is stated and where it is drawn out, and shows how the whole thread leads to Jesus, who is not merely with us in the storm but is its Lord.
