God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
Strong winds may be beginning to blow, as a fierce storm approaches over
the horizon. We are not left to weather the storm alone. We have a
shelter under the wings of Almighty God, a safe and secure place, where
perfect love dwells and peace abounds. Our enemy whispers certain doom,
and lies of how this storm will overtake us. Our God is a good God, and
He will not break the covenant He has made with His children. He takes
pleasure in caring for us. So even as we know the storms will come, we
can also know that they always pass, leaving behind vivid colors and a
beautiful aroma. We can rejoice with our God, knowing that we will be
safe with Him in our midst, as we place our hope in the beauty that
follows the rain.
Prayer
Lord we run under Your shelter when the storm begins to approach. Quiet
our fears with Your love, keep us safe and secure under Your wings. We
will not acknowledge the lies of our enemy of certain doom; we are
trusting in Your goodness. Overtake us in the midst of the storm with
waves of Your mercy and grace. In Your perfect love we will abound. In
Jesus name Amen.
