When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.
Proverbs 10:25 (NKJV)
At a wedding reception party, well-arranged and decorated tents provided comfort to the guests while also shielding them from the scorching sun. Everyone was in celebratory mood until a whirlwind interrupted the proceedings and caused a pandemonium.
When the whirlwind passes by…
A vortex usually catches people off-guard. It picks up small and large objects in its wake and sends them into the sky. Any object that is not well- grounded is at the mercy of the strong, spiraling wind. Its unlucky victims also have to contend with copious amounts of dust in the ensuing confusion.
King Solomon likens the wicked to victims of a whirlpool. When they face life challenges, evil people disintegrate quickly because they have no foundation. In other words, wickedness may prevail for some time, but it has a definite end. Wickedness has a very short lifespan that cannot withstand the test of time.
How to Prepare for a Whirlwind
In contrast, the wise man asserts that the righteous have an everlasting foundation. Their actions are rooted in their faith in God. They draw their motivation and inspiration from the Almighty. Like a building with a strong foundation, they remain standing in the wake of the strongest whirlwind.
To prepare for a whirlwind, we therefore need to surrender our lives to God and allow Him to influence our thoughts and actions. The power to overcome life’s challenges and to remain calm when in trouble is found in having an active relationship with God and Jesus Christ.
Prayer
Almighty God, I surrender my life to you because that is the only way I can withstand the whirlwinds of life.
