THROUGH THE STORM


against the rocks: the wind in
its fury was tossing the ship
back and forth, forcing itself
to the bottomless foundation of
the ea-giving such power to
the waves as they were UNI
matchable by man. But in the
midst of it all a lighthouse
lights on a rock of a firm foun-
dation and the vision of a cross
is seen and I can hear the
echoes of the heavenly chorus
singing Rock of Ages, cleft for
me, let me hide myself in
Thee"
1t is in the midst of a storm
that one seeks an anchorage in
God. It is in the midst of the
storms of life that we hold our
hands out in the darkness and
wait in faith for a hand to lead
us on. 1t is in the midst of the
storms of life when we cannot
see the steps in which our feet
must trod we seek that merci-
ful leader to guide our feet. tits
the storms Of life that make
make this earth a bitter place
Tor the soul and cause us to
long for the sweetness of Heay-
en-. 1t is the storms of life that
create the necessary miScom-
forts to make us restless and
create in US a desire to NOV on
higher and higher and seek
the land of everlasting peace.
God has not promised to
drive from our shores the
storms of life but He has prom
lSed to speak peace to the rag
ing tide for awhile so that we
may grid ourselves for a greater
storm. He has promised to fix
the back for the burden
strength to endure affection and
to lead us on through the dark
ness where, there is no light.
He has promised never to for
sake those that put their trust
In Him, for indeed His omnip-
otent power is ours for the ask
ing. This is the God of Jacob
the God of Abraham, the God OF
Isaac, the God of Moses, the
God Isaiah was talking about
when he said Wonderful"
WONDERFUL Because
when the eyes are dimmed by
fog, when the clouds show no
lining, when man cannot reason
a way of escape, when the walls
OF tribulation encircle the soul
when troubles on troubles from
mountains do roll, when hearts
are aching, when tears of blood
are dripping, when death, sick
ness and poverty play judgment
on the land - this great God OF
gods steps forth in all power
and glory, lifts the sting of sor-
row and sends the heart reioic-
ing on its way. That's why
Isiah said he was WONDER
Full.
WONDERFUL, because when
the earth refuses o yield he
plants mama on the ground.
WONDERFUL = Because when
the mama was stolen His raw
en- came forth with food from
on high. Wonderful, because
man born in sin and shaped in
iniquity can have a right to a
Throne of Grace and commune
face to face with God. He can
ask for a seat at the right hand
of the Father and if he lives
right he will not be denied
Wonderful Because there
cometh a morning when the
great trumpet shall sound
throughout the land, all nations
must lay down their arms to
pick them up no more - the
stars. shall begin to fall = the
sun shall refuse to shine = the
earth shall reel and rock =
then shall the storm of storms
play havoc upon this frame.
WONDERFUL - Because NV
sould shall then stand on Mount
Picgahs lofty height, view lis
home, and take it's flight. Won
derful - Because I can anchor
my soul in the Bosom of Abra-
ham and be safe and secure
