Storms from Building a Resilient Life Bible Study by Rebekah Lyons Every generation faces storms. Since the forbidden fruit was eaten and sin came crashing into paradise, the storms of our common humanity rage. Along with the reality of cosmic brokenness, we also experience joy, we see beauty, and we have seasons of indescribable delight. Life is a mixed bag and we rarely know what is just around the corner. This generation has been no exception. A new virus made its way around the world and things changed in ways no one was prepared for. The country of Ukraine was invaded and images of war hit devices carried in the pockets and purses of people all over the globe. Gas prices boomed. Supply chain issues seemed to impact the availability of almost everything. Inflation became a common word and reality.
BUILDING A RESILIENT LIFE
The list could go on and on but you have lived these realities. These are the sort of things that live in the consciousness of our generation and they can ignite fear, worry, anxiety, and depression. You may have found yourself asking: Why do I feel so fragile? Should I give up or stay the course? Will I recover passion and meaning? Can I become resilient against the never-ending storms of life? How do I know you’re asking these questions? Because I’m asking them, too. If we are going to press forward with resilient hearts and stability in the storms, there are God-given guidelines to help us along. My prayer is that this study will help us discover some meaningful and helpful answers to these questions. No matter what comes our way, there is hope in Jesus and strength to hang in there and press through.
