In the Stormy Situations of Life (2 of 3)
Series: Trusting God
William Wyne
Mark 4:35-41
There is an old hymn of the church written by William C. Martin, many, many years ago.
I trust in God wherever I may be, upon the land, or the rolling sea. For come what may, from day to day, my heavenly father watches over me.
I trust in God, I know he cares from me, on mountain bleak or on the stormy sea, though the billows roll, he keeps my soul. My heavenly Father watches over me.
That is a great song, and its lyrics are without a doubt rooted in the biblical promises and provisions of God. Because the God of scriptures has a track record of proven instances that he watches over his children.
He watched over Israel for four hundred and thirty years in Egypt, under some harsh, oppressive, and even racist Pharaohs. They had to endure sometimes the punishments of having to make bricks without the straw being provided, and they could not fall below the brick count. Even though they had to go and get the straw, they still made the quota. They had to endure the attempt of ethnic cleansing because the Hebrew women gave birth at a greater rate than the Egyptian women, and Pharaoh attempted to exterminate the male children. He decreed that the male children would be thrown into the Nile when they were born. They were isolated to live outside the walls of Egypt, segregated in a place called Goshen, it was where the Pharaohs aimed to keep them in their place. But God watched over them even under those harsh conditions.
When they were emancipated from Egypt he watched over them, a cloud by day to guide them, a pillar of fire by night to protect them. He watched over them. Well, for forty years they wandered in the wilderness because of their own fear, failure, and unbelief, yet God watched over them. The Bible says that their clothes did not wear out, and the sole of their shoes did not wear down. You do know why; the heavenly father was watching over them.
