(Mark 4:39. NIV)When there is a gentle breezeThen we find a life of ease,But when the wind will blowDoes our spirit sink low?It is at those timesWhen facing life’s storms,With the wind at our faceAs we run our life’s race,We feel tattered and torn,We lose track of His rhyme.It in these times of trialWe must remember our faith.When the acrid taste of bileRises we must remember our place.God is on our side,So we never need to hide.We have His gentle breathOn which we can rest.The Holy Spirit moves&#160;As a gentle breeze,Calming the winds,Restoring our faith.It is the breath of God,It is His Word at creationThat calms the stormsYesterday,Today andTomorrow.We just have to believe.Ask, pray and we shall receive.With God we can weather the storm.Follow is on our website<a href="http://www.livingingodsrhyme.com/"...
