We can all relate to the weather metaphors that Jesus uses in today's gospel. He talks about rain, floods, and winds, which we can easily understand. Living in New England, we can add snow to the list and still get the message that Jesus is trying to convey.
Apart from the weather, we can experience storms of a different nature in our lives, no matter where we live in the world. As individuals, we may find ourselves struggling with life's challenges, facing difficulties and obstacles that seem insurmountable.
Jesus warns us that we will face storms in life, but He wants to help us overcome them. When storms come, we can either be tossed about helplessly or stand strong and move beyond them.
Jesus wants to be our rock during the storms of life. If we listen to and follow His teachings, we will remain safe, even when the storms rage around us. Jesus reminds us of the importance of doing God's will and encourages us to keep returning to that focal point. By doing so, we can endure any storm we face with the help of the Lord.
