“Now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation forever” (Psalm 12:5-7). “But when he [Peter] saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased” (Matthew 14:30-32).
The Lord has said He will arise
Against those puffing like the wind,
By giving us His Word so wise,
Refuting liars who have sinned.
The Word of God has been preserved
As God Himself has thus decreed.
Though many from His way have swerved,
The Word of God is truth indeed.
We do not need to be dismayed
By fools yet blinded by their pride.
God’s Word fulfilled has been displayed
Which He preserved and prophesied.
We see this principle is found
When Peter followed Christ’s command
To walk on water like the ground,
For Christ enabled him to stand.
But Peter than began to think
About the threat of wind and waves
And that’s when he began to sink,
Yet prayed and found that Jesus saves.
Yet Jesus Christ reproves as well,
When we are looking round about,
As He who saved our souls from hell
Now asks us also why we doubt!
O Lord, we thank You for Your Word!
The wind indeed is boisterous,
But we delight that we have heard
Your voice that is victorious!
Lord, help us reach the lost today,
Amid these winds by which they're led.
Prepare their hearts to humbly pray
And trust Your precious Word instead!
