Many years ago before we began paying income taxes in April instead of March, the American humorist and poet, Ogden Nash, wrote:
  Inside and out, no one relaxes
  In March that month of WIND and taxes.
  The WINDS will presently disappear,
  But taxes last us all the year.
However, the Bible has more to say about WIND than about taxes.
“For behold, He who forms the mountains, and creates the WIND, who declares to man what his thought is,... the LORD God of hosts is His name.” – Amos 4:13
“Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the WIND in His fists?... Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if you know? – Proverbs 30:4
“But He (JESUS) said to them, ‘Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?’ Then He arose and rebuked the WINDS and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, ‘Who can this be, that even the WINDS and the sea obey Him?’” – Matthew 8:26
“The ungodly... are like the chaff which the WIND drives away. The ungodly shall not stand in the judgment...” – Psalm 1:4
“They (the ungodly) sow the WIND and reap the WHIRLWIND.” – Hosea 8:7
At this point, let me ask you a pointed question: “If GOD the SON created and controls the WINDS of the earth, do ungodly people have anything of which to be afraid?” Consider further:
“The grass withers, the flower fades, because the BREATH (WIND, same word) of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass.” – Isaiah 40:7
“... we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the WIND, have taken us away.” – Isaiah 64:6b
These last two verses make it personal, don’t they? They talk about us. So my last question is this:
ARE YOU STILL OUT THERE BEING WITHERED, DRIVEN, AND “BLOWN AWAY” BY THE WINDS OF LIFE?
    OR
ARE YOU IN THE BOAT WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST?
