We need to be obedient when we are followers of Jesus Christ.  As christians, we must remember that His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways not our ways.  Sometimes it's our fault when we fall into difficulties.  And then again, failures, if taken rightly, may become steppingstones to higher ground.  The scriptures tell us that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.

So when the storms of life come we have the assurance from the words of God himself that Jesus Christ is in the midst of that particular storm we are going through.
