Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Navigating The Storm
May 25, 2013

The ancient people of the nation of Axum (located on the Red Sea in modern Ethiopia) discovered that the stormy winds of the monsoon season could be harnessed by sail for speedy navigation. Rather than dreading the high winds and rains, they learned how to navigate their way through the storm.

Psalm 107 provides a wonderful word picture of how God allows storms to come our way, and then provides help for us to navigate through them. “He commands and raises the stormy wind, . . . and He brings them out of their distresses” (Ps. 107:25,28).

Trusting God for guidance in troubled times is a biblical theme. Hebrews 11 lists many who used their problems as an opportunity to exercise faith and to experience God’s grace, provision, and deliverance: “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, [and] out of weakness were made strong” (vv.33-34).

Stormy circumstances are inevitable. Although our first reaction may be to run from the problem, we can instead ask God to teach us how to trust Him to navigate us through the storm.

When life feels like a storm-tossed sea
With crashing waves of pain and grief,
Turn to the Lord and trust in Him,
He’ll give you peace and bring relief. —Sper

Better to go through the storm with Christ than to have smooth sailing without Him.

Read: Psalm 107:23-32

He commands and raises the stormy wind, . . . and He brings them out of their distresses. —Psalm 107:25,28

Bible in a Year:
1 Chronicles 25-27; John 9:1-23

Says Goodbye To A Legend







Trevor Bolder was the bassist, songwriter and record producer best known for his long association with Uriah Heep and his role with David Bowie's iconic Spiders from Mars. Although not a founding member of Uriah Heep, Trevor performed on more than twenty Heep albums (producing many) since 1976 when he replaced John Wetton. Previously he had played bass on five David Bowie albums (including Hunky Dory, The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Changes. His resume included four solo albums with fellow Spider Mick Ronson, Two with Heepster Ken Hensley, albums with the Cybernauts, Dana Gillespie and an album and three year touring stint with British rockers Wishbone Ash.

Hardly a household name, he was obscured by the mammoth talents he supported over five decades. Bolder died this week from pancreatic cancer. He'll be missed.
