The Master of Wind and Wave

Much has been posted here on world news, and the atrocities of the day, how about a little glory for the Lord now? He is still on the throne!

Matthew 9

Isn’t it amazing that the elements, which have no scruples at all--no sense of right and wrong--no will of their own can OBey the words of our Lord, when men have such a time doing it? One clearly sees that the Word of the Lord has great power; the elements have no choice but to OBey, and why should they hope to do otherwise? My friends, we hold this same Word in our hands every day! What power we possess! What neglect we give to it!

The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima told of an awesome power--so powerful that man stood in awe at its destructive force, and yet, we hold a greater power in our hands in the Bible! The Word is greater in that it creates instead of destroys. The one has the power to destroy the world, while the other has the power to create it. To make something out of nothing is by far a more awesome power than that which destroys what has been made. Japan saw devastating, unbelievable destruction when the bomb was dropped, and yet the miracle of birth is seen every day, and little is said about it. The Japanese saw death, chaos, mass destruction, while the birth of a child sees a vibrant new life; which do you suppose is the greater of the two? Yes, Jesus is Master of wind and wave, but He has yet to master the hearts of men. It seems that the elements, though having no sense at all, are wiser than the wisest of men. Don’t take the Bible for granted; let it build your life into a vibrant, new life also, by regeneration.

Oops! That was not too exhilarating!
