我们在生活中都会经历试炼：可能是健康上的试炼，关系上的试炼，财务上的试炼，或情感上的试炼，但我们所有的艰难困苦最终也是属灵上的试炼。
痛苦的时候，神在哪里？为什么神允许我们面对生活中的挣扎和风暴？
圣经从未应许我们在生活中不遇到风暴和挫折。没有应许说生活会很容易，很顺遂，或一帆风顺。
然而，神却应许永远与我们同在。在生活的风暴中，祂将成为我们的锚。而测试锚的力量的最好方法就是经受风暴。
耶稣教导说，遵循祂教导的人“好比一个聪明人，把房子盖在磐石上。”（太 7:24-27）当暴风雨来临时，房子没有倒下；它被建造在坚实的地基之上。
同样地，箴言呼吁我们将我们的生命建立在智慧和公义之上——即与神建立亲密的关系。当我们这样做的时候，我们就会牢牢地被锚住，能够经受住生活的风暴。
有神作为根基，我们就能站立得稳，相信我们的命运在他手中是安稳的。
全能的神，引导和保护我渡过生活中的风暴。帮助我在试炼中信靠你，并引导我活在与你的亲密关系中。阿们。
箴言 10:23-25
23愚妄人以行恶为戏耍，明哲人却以智慧为乐。
24恶人所怕的必临到他，义人所愿的必蒙应允。
25暴风一过，恶人归于无有，义人的根基却是永久。
"When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever." - Proverbs 10:25
We all go through trials in life. They may be health trials, relationship trials, financial trials, or emotional trials, but all of our hardships and difficulties end up being spiritual trials as well.
Where is God when it hurts? Why does God allow us to face the struggles and storms of life?
Scripture never promises that we will be able to go through life without encountering storms and setbacks. There is no promise that life will be easy, or simple, or smooth sailing.
Nevertheless, God promises to be with us always. Through the storms of life he will be our anchor. And the best way to test the strength of an anchor is to endure a storm.
Jesus taught that whoever follows his teaching is "like a wise man who built his house on the rock" (Matthew 7:24-27): when a heavy storm came, the house did not fall; it was built on a solid foundation.
Similarly, Proverbs calls us to build our lives on wisdom and righteousness—that is, having a right relationship with God. When we do that, we will be securely anchored and able to endure the storms of life.
With God as our foundation, we can stand firm, trusting that our destiny is safe in his hands.
Mighty God, guide and protect me through the storms of life. Help me to trust you in the midst of trials, and lead me to live in right relationship with you. Amen.
