That tragedy in your life, that problem in your life. You thought it was a tragedy. You thought it was by accident, it might have been sent by God. Because, you see, your body is not so important as your soul or your spirit. Your body is temporary, it's going to go to the grave. But your soul, your spirit, will live on forever. And God is interested in saving your spirit. And sometimes he allows your body to suffer in order to bring your spirit to himself. You see, the apostle Paul cried out three times, lord, deliver me. God said, no, Paul, but I'll show you what my grace can do. How many of you have problems and tragedy and disappointment in your life? Maybe God sent it like he sent this wind to blow up the storm to wake you up, to cause you to repent of your sins and turn to God while there's time.
