Psalm 55:22

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee:  He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."

Have you ever wondered why Jesus "constrained His disciples to get into a ship, and to go before Him unto the other side" (Matthew 14:22), knowing that a storm was going to brew shortly after they set sail?  Why would He send them right into the teeth of a stormy gale?  Because He wanted them to know that He was sufficient for them.  He wanted them to worship Him.

Your storm is nothing but a superhighway to bring you to Jesus.  It is the vehicle that moves you from a head knowledge to an experiential understanding that God is Who He says He is.

It was Andre Crouch who said, "For if I never had a problem, I would never know that God could solve them.  And I would never know what faith in His word could do."
