“And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full” (Mark 4: 37). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.Whilst Jesus and His disciples were on their journey, a great storm of wind arose. Ordinarily, a wind can even be used to power the movement of a ship; but in this case, the wind turned against the ship. Something that should have eased movement made movement difficult.Aren’t there times when the things that should make movement easier turn around and make it difficult? Sometimes, the same people who should help us succeed turn against us to stop us; policies that should move us higher turn around and make our movement difficult; people promise to help sometimes, and later turn around to hurt us.Friend, when the wind turns against your ship, don’t give up; when the people who are meant to help turn around to work against you, don’t lose hope; when destiny helpers turn around to become destiny destroyers, don’t let them stop you; when they suddenly become enemies after posing as friends, don’t be embarrassed, and don’t let the shock freeze you to a spot. It may not be easy to operate in the midst of enemies, but God says, press on and don’t give up.The wind turned against the ship, but Jesus was in the ship, and in the end, it didn’t sink. The people who have turned against you don’t have the capacity to drown you if Jesus is in the ship of your life; no matter how great their conspiracy is, they won’t succeed, and you won’t be defeated. God may allow them to toss you around, but in the end, you will arrive at your destination.Your destiny is in God’s hands; and if God be for you, there is no need to give up.Isaiah 54 vs 15 (GWT) says: “If anyone attacks you, it will not be my doing. Whoever attacks you will be defeated by you.”Pray With Me: Lord, I won’t give up, I will press on despite those who are gathered against me!Amen...Have A Restful Saturday!
