"What I want you to see is the storms were not responsible for the house collapsing." No matter what stage of life you're in right now, you know that life isn't perfect. You've been through tough times, and you know they're not all behind you. More trials will come your way. How do you prepare for storms in advance? How do you deal with them in the moment? Jesus teaches us how to do both in https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+6.46-49&version=NIV (Luke 6.46-49). It's a short story but full of lessons.
