the ocean swirls and the wind blows October 23, 2008

Oh Lord – the ocean swirls around me – the wind blows hard against my body – the pressures crush me – the world is in disarray – and You are the same – FOREVER.  Lord – would you lift me from the waters and shelter me from the wind and lift the weight from above?  Take it all Lord – for I am incapable.  Amen

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Psalm 81:6-7He says, “I removed the burden from their shoulders; their hands were set free from the basket. In your distress you called and I rescued you, I answered you out of a thundercloud; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.  Selah

Hast Thou Not Seen? July 18, 2008

Praise to the Lord who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth.
Shelters thee under His wings yea so gently sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen, how thy desires e’er have been
granted in what He ordaineth.

Hallelujah

And the Winds Blew March 4, 2008

Have you ever felt like the winds were blowing?  I do all the time.  Sometimes it feels like typhoon sized winds are knocking upon my heart, my soul, and my mind.  I begin to worry.  Sometimes even the small winds seem like too much for my delicate spirit and I begin to be afraid.  God’s Word tells us to come into His shelter.  Only He can recognize, rectify, and calm the winds of life.  I am slowly learning to come to Him always – under all circumstances. 

Matthew 8:26  He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Matthew 14:31  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

Luke 12:26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
