MFM Daily Devotional Message Thursday, 16th April, 2026.
It is normal for the roaring of waters to occur at particular times as the Lord has ordained it from the beginning. There are times when the sea overflows and the waves roar. Those who are conversant with the sea, for example, the fishermen, know that this occurrence is not strange. However, the roaring of waters can signify more than a natural occurrence. Spiritually, it implies the rage of the wicked, the harassment of the enemy, to make the children of God afraid and unsettled.

The Psalmist explained the threatening situations in the Fire Scripture of today saying, "Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof" (vv. 2-3). These are terrifying and troubling situations that can be scary and challenging. The enemy loves to make so much noise to scare the children of God. The Bible has correctly stated that, "... your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8). The attacks of the wicked usually come with so much terrifying noise. However, when you realize that God is your Refuge, a very present Help in time of trouble, then, you remain unshaken and unmoved. That is the picture painted by the Psalmist before us. These times will surely come, but with Christ in the boat of your life, there is no cause for alarm. The boat will not capsize because the Storm Stiller is in control, neither will lives be lost because He protects and sustains His own children.

Beloved, do not be discouraged by storms of life when they come. You can be assured of God's protection if you are in Christ. Every man will experience storms at certain points but the difference between Christians and the others is that Christians have an anchor to keep them afloat when trouble comes.
