Ordinary 12

When a doctor says "we've found a tumor" the storm of a lifetime hits. Like the disciples in the boat, there doesn't seem to be anywhere to turn. The feeling is fear of the unknown, helplessness, anxiety about loved ones, anger, depression. and more. The feeling storm is overwhelming. "Why does God do this to me?"

In Job we find an answer that may satisfy our minds but leaves our hearts wondering. The answer is because of sin in the world good people suffer. To satisfy our hearts we must ask anaother question "Where is God?" The whole Bible answers that, God is with His people in their suffering. Just as Jesus calmed the storm threatening the disciples, He offers us peace when we turn to him.
