Be
merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the
shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass
by. (Psalm 57:1)
In the Midwest where tornadoes are common,
many homes include a storm cellar (an underground bunker) where families can
hide to protect against violent severe weather.
No matter what devastation is happening around them, they are protected
from harm.
God offers such a safe haven to protect us
from the storms of life – His presence.
And there’s no safer place to be.
Is there a storm on the horizon in your
life? Are the storm clouds
gathering? Are you feeling overwhelmed
at what lies ahead?
If yes, run to God now. Don’t wait until you are in the midst of the
storm. He is beckoning you to come and
hide in His presence now and rest there until the storm passes.
And once you taste of His presences and
faithfulness through the storm, you won’t want to leave. You will want to dwell there all the days of
your life. You will shout as the
Psalmist did in Psalm 84:10 - “a day in your courts
is better than a thousand elsewhere.”
The storm will eventually pass by, but
until it does, hunker down with God.
Pray continually and keep your eyes on Him. Rest in His promise of protection and
provision. No storm is too big for Him.
