Whirlwind

A whirlwind is a column of air moving rapidly around and around in a cylindrical or funnel shape. On Nov 21, 2017, a whirlwind hit the Mediterranean coast in the province of Antalya, Turkey, injuring 38 people and causing significant damage to agricultural land, cars, and houses.

There are also personal whirlwinds when life is falling apart, answers can’t be found, and faith is being severely tested. Case in point would be the book of Job. His wife finally said, “Why don’t you curse God and die?”

The Scriptures give us an assurance that even in such a severe storm God is still in complete control.

Job 38:1

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

Nahum 1:3

The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

All you can do in a whirlwind is hang on and patiently wait for it to be over. God doesn’t operate like that because He is always in complete control.

Give it some thought.
