Dear Young Christian: “The wind was contrary … But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid” (Matthew 14:24, 30). I read the following statement the other day: The wind blows in one direction; you can walk against it or with it — take your choice! Peter when walking on the water to go to Jesus, saw the wind and became afraid. We too can be like that. We see the work and opposition of the enemy and the trials of life that seem so against us. Then we fail to see the Lord Jesus, and like Peter, thinking it is all too much, we begin to sink. So often we try to fight against the winds of life in our own strength. This gets us nowhere except to discourage and weary us. But instead of walking against the wind, we can walk with it by accepting all from His heart of love, and walking hand in hand over the sea of life in the shelter and power of His company. Try it this week, and you will be surprised at the blessing that will result. Your Christian Friend, Jim Hyland We would love to hear from you. Send your comments or questions to jhyland@primus.ca |
