OVERCOMING THE STORMS.
“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.”
Mark 4:39 KJV.
Dearly beloved and friends,storms are very common occurrences in the lives of all human beings on earth in one form or the other.The timing of storms might be very unpredictable; but there is no storm that lasts for ever.
What actually is a storm? a violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds and usually rain, thunder, lightning, or snow.
Or a sudden attack on an erstwhile calm and serene environment.Storms can be physical or spiritual ;whichever be the case,the Lord will calm any storm that comes your way this year.
•“He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still.” Psalm 107:29.
•“And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.”Luke 8:24.
•“He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; He burneth the chariot in the fire.” Psalm 46:9.
