Master of the Wind

Our family is in a stormy and exciting time right now. In the midst of following God's direction, my fearful prayer has been, "Lord, please shelter us - please don't let this destroy our home, or hurt our children." Today as I was putting James down for his nap, he wanted me to sing him a song about a storm - and what a blessing it was! I have been looking at the waves and the wind, and having no faith! God said to us, "Let us pass over unto the other side." And my answer was, "Carest thou not that we perish?" Thank the Lord for the great calm He has brought to my heart, and the knowledge that He will bring such a great calm to our home and our children!


Mark 4:35-41
³⁵ And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
³⁶ And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
³⁷ And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
³⁸ And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
⁴⁰ And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
⁴¹ And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?


Master of the Wind
by Bill Gaither

My boat of life sails on the troubled sea,
Whenever there's a wind in my sails
But I have a friend, who watches over me,
When the breeze turns into a gale

I know the Master of the wind,
I know the Maker of the rain
He can calm the storm, make the sun shine again,
I know the Master of the wind

Sometimes I soar like and eagle to the sky,
Among the peaks my soul can be found.
An unexpected storm may drive me from the heights,
Bring me low, but never brings me down

I know the Master of the wind,
I know the Maker of the rain
He can calm the storm, make the sun shine again,
I know the Master of the wind
