BOA #14 - When the Storm Comes - a podcast by Dr. Stan Ott

Stormy weather is a part of all of our lives, whether the storm is raging inside you or leaning furiously against you. Are you contending with such a tempest right now? Do you know someone who is?

The Apostle Paul knew that life can be a storm. He loved to say, “Stand firm.” “Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.” 1 Corinthians.16:13

 “For we now live, if you continue to stand firm in the Lord.” 1Thessalonians 3:8

While standing firm draws on our deepest strength of will, there are storms that require an even greater source of strength.

Martin Luther wonderfully expressed the key to standing firm and the source of our greatest strength: “…Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; were not the right Man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing.  Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, And he must win the battle.”

It’s difficult to imagine a greater word of encouragement!
