STORMS

...the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. Nahum 1:3.

Lightening, thunder, and howling wind,
Just like the storms the LORD doth send,
Dispelling the blue skies of our day,
Disturbing each step of our way.

Caught in the midst of the storm’s fierce rage,
Angrily its might refuses to assuage.
The rain, the wind, thunder and lightening flashing,
The tempest in its fury giving quite a lashing.

Upon the storm the Master doth ride,
In power and wisdom - its able Guide.
The clouds are the dust of His feet;
His path is perfect and complete.

So in our lives the Master has a plan,
Bearing us through each storm in the palm of His hand.
In Sovereign majesty, He controls it all,
The mighty tempest obeying His call.

So when caught in storms of doubt and fear,
Learn to count the tempest as a friend so dear.
In it the LORD of storms is breaking us -
Into a fit vessel the Master is making us.
