There are three types of storms that come into our lives.
Storms that we bring on ourselves.
Storms that are caused by others.
Storms that are allowed by God.
Storms or trouble is something that belongs to the human race.
I’ve yet to meet anyone who can boast of being totally free from it.
It is one of those common denominators that links everyone who has lived, who is now living, or who will live on this earth.
Job, who had his share of troubles, tells us in , "Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward."
and again in , "Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble."

Troubles plague the human race.
Troubles produce "tough days."
We’ve all experienced them and we know that some seem to be worse than others are.
I’ve had days "pop up" in my life and no doubt you have too, when you wonder why you ever crawled out of bed that morning, and then you wonder if you’re going to make it back to bed that night.
In the comic strip Peanuts, Charlie Brown is saying to Lucy, "I’ve got so many troubles that if anything happens to me today it will be two weeks before I can worry about it."
Can you identify with Charlie?
Here’s a fact about life that you can count on happening no matter who you are.
Trouble, in one or more of its various forms, is going to come knocking unexpectedly at your door one day.
Don’t spend your time looking for it - for it will find you.
Trouble knows your address.
Prepare yourself in advance to deal with whatever your "it" may be.Trouble and the Apostle Paul
Very few people today have experienced as many difficulties in their life as Paul did.
He was on a first name basis with trouble.
In , Paul shares some of his experiences with trouble.
He is not complaining about them, but he’s just letting us know that he understands what trouble is all about.
"Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews forth stripes save one.
Three times I have been beaten with rods.
Once I was stoned.
Three times I have been shipwrecked.
A night and a day I have been adrift at sea.
On my journeys I have often been in danger from rivers, robbers, my own people the Jews, the Gentiles, false brethern and the sea.
I have been in constant toil and hardship with many sleepless nights.
Often in hunger and thirst without food.
Often in cold and exposure without warm clothes to protect me from the elements, and always upon me there is the pressure of the care of the church."
(Amplified Bible)
But troubles couldn’t put Paul down.
He refused to be defeated by them.
They failed in detouring him from serving God.
