Storm Proof week 6 "Faith in the Storm"

When storms rage in our lives, the most natural question we ask is 'Why?' This message reminds us that asking why doesn't mean we lack faith. Even Jesus cried out from the cross, asking God why He had forsaken Him. The profound truth we discover is that God isn't silent because He's absent, but because He's present in a different way. Like a teacher during an exam, God steps back not because He doesn't care, but because He's testing what we've learned. The passage from Judges 3 reveals something stunning: God intentionally left enemies in the Promised Land to train His people in warfare. Our trials aren't accidents or signs of God's displeasure. They're training grounds where theoretical faith becomes practical faith.
