Day 12 – Life’s Storms

If the Master Creator can calm a storm and still the waves, how much more can He do with the storms of your life? Let’s stop and think about it for a moment!

Jesus thought this to be a very important topic to teach His disciples. So important, it was mentioned in three of the four Gospels.

Each of the Gospels teaches a different aspect of the same account. Matthew shows the Master teaching His pupils – telling them of their lack of faith. Mark’s account shows just how awesome and powerful Jesus was – the God man, but fully God. Lastly, Luke describes man’s desperate need for Jesus to intercede on their behalf! Oh how wonderful to know that the Maker of the storms can also calm them.

Oh how wonderful to know that we can run to Him in the midst of our storms and cry out, “Master, master, I perish!” Oh Lord, God, how I need Thee every hour! Oh how precious are the words of this hymn to me this day! I’ve known the hymn for years but the Lord has seen fit to bless me with its true meaning!

I Need Thee Every Hour
Annie Hawks

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

Refrain

I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power when Thou art nigh.

Refrain

I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide, or life is in vain.

Refrain

I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.

Refrain

I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessèd Son.
