Master of the Wind

   Sometimes, in life, we go through trials of which we think we will never see the end. We experience the "storms of life" and, while we are in the midst of those storms, we honestly think we will will live our whole life and die in them. We can't see the end. We have people out there who God has sent to help us - the coastguards, if you will - and we still think we are all alone. We can't see the lifeline(s) that God has sent to us. All we can see are the waves crashing into our boat, the dark skies, the rain, etc... Once we do happen to see that spotlight that the coastguards are shining on us, we sometimes just wave them off and tell them that we will be okay on our own. That we can make it on our own. That we don't need anyone else. When, in reality, we can't make it without them.

   I was thinking about this late last night/early this morning, and this song came to my mind. I am glad that, no matter how alone I may feel in my life, I know the Master of the Wind....

MY BOAT OF LIFE SAILS ON A TROUBLED SEA
EVER THERE'S A WIND IN MY SAIL 
BUT I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WATCHES OVER ME 
WHEN THE BREEZE TURNS INTO THE GALE 

I KNOW THE MASTER OF THE WIND 
I KNOW THE MAKER OF THE RAIN, 
HE CAN CALM THE STORM 
MAKE THE SUN SHINE AGAIN 
I KNOW THE MASTER OF THE WIND 

SOMETIMES I SOAR LIKE  AN EAGLE IN THE SKY, 
AMONG THE PEAKS MY SOUL CAN BE FOUND 
AN UNEXPECTED STORM MAY DRIVE ME FROM THE HEIGHTS 
BRING ME LOW BUT NEVER BRING ME DOWN
