Storm Shelter

2010

"...O LORD...You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. For the oppressive acts of ruthless people are like a storm beating against the wall, or like the relentless heat of the desert. But You silence the roar...as the shade of a cloud cools relentless heat, so the boastful songs of ruthless people are stilled." (Isa. 25:4-5 NLT)

It's a stormy day in Alabama, but I'm quite comfortable - as snug as a bug in the rug. The roaring winds and pounding rain can't touch me within the cozy shelter of my little library.

As you well know, these are stormy days on earth. Howling winds of terror beat against peace of mind. But "those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1).

Beloved, Jesus keeps in perfect peace all who trust in Him, all whose thoughts are fixed on Him. Trust in the LORD always, for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock (Isa. 25:3-4). One day every knee shall bow and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:10-11), and the boastful songs of ruthless people will still forever.
