      When The Storms Come - Val Waldeck

      Acknowledgements

      and Thanks

      Special thanks to Lorna Jackson, Val Ludik, Malcolm Gage, and Keith Blond for their encouragement, prayer support, and assistance with proofreading, and to Clive Thompson for the cover design.

      Introduction

      How often we cry out, I can’t take it! when the STORMS OF LIFE rise up and threaten to destroy us. We forget so quickly that the Lord has promised to stand by us no matter what happens.

      The Old Testament book of JOB tells us about a family who suffered terrible loss. Job came through the storm with his faith intact. Although he had never read 1 Corinthians 10:13 (a New Testament scripture written thousands of years later), he fully believed and experienced its truth.

      No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. – 1 Cor.10:13 (NKJV)

      Job's wife came through the storm too, but she fell apart emotionally and spiritually on her journey back to faith.

      The message of this book is very encouraging: When the storms of life come – you can take it!

      Our attitude makes the difference as to how we weather the storm.

      This is one of the oldest, most interesting, and most thought-provoking books of the Bible. It is not often one gets to look behind the scenes and sense the will and purposes of Almighty God.

      Based on the Old Testament book of Job, When the storms come takes you through the high – and low – points in his life.

      Walk with Job and his family and learn how to take trials in the power and strength of the Lord.

      This is a devotional book that will move your heart and help you to rejoice in the midst of your pain.

      1. There Was a Man

      There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. (Job 1:1)

      Job lived a long time ago. Many believe he was a contemporary of Abraham, and the book written about him is certainly one of the oldest books in the Bible.

      He lived in the land of Uz, in the Middle East, and was a well-known figure in his hometown. Everybody knew Job. But more important than that – God knew Job. He knew his name, where he lived, and all the circumstances of his life.

      God knows everything about us too. Psalm 139 tells us that He knows exactly who we are (v.1-5). He knows what we are thinking and even what we are going to say before we utter a word. He knows where we are right at this moment (v.7-12) and His Hand is upon us, even though we may not be aware of it. We are never out of His Presence or invisible to His all-seeing eye. 

      He knows what we are (v.13-16). He watched us being formed in the womb and scheduled each day of our life before we began to breathe. Every day was recorded in His book.

      It is said that a genuine friend is the one who knows the worst about you – and loves you just the same! Our God is a Friend Indeed and this Psalm reminds us that He thinks about us constantly. When we awaken in the morning we still have His full attention (v.17-18).

      It is almost too much for our minds to take in. Stop and think about this for a moment – God loves YOU. 

      That doesn't mean for a second that we are immune to the trials of life that are common to people (1 Cor. 10:13). It does mean that we may trust our Faithful God to help us through our troubles. That was Job's experience.

      In times of trouble and stress, run to God, never away from Him! He knows the future and the answer to every
