Wednesday, July 24, 2024Key Verse

Text — Mark 4:35-41
Message
Wind is air in motion. It is beneficial to both man and animals when it comes in moderate proportions. If it however comes in high speed resulting in cyclones and hurricanes whether on the land or the sea, the disaster coupled with the losses can be incalculable. The apostles of the Lord had a bitter experience with the wind while on the sea with the Lord sleeping peacefully in the cabin. They struggled to bring the boat to shore and safety all to no avail. After their human efforts had failed, they called on the Master who rebuked the wind and brought a great calm.
Wind represents troubles, problems and challenges of life. A little misunderstanding in the home can grow into quarrels, fight and separation if wrongly handled. When we are faced with them, we should call on the Lord in faith for total victory. Our human efforts will certainly disappoint us but faith in His mighty power will bring the needed victory. Jesus is with you in the boat of your life. Call upon Him for solutions to your problems.
