A Shelter in the storms

 

A Shelter In The Time Of Storm

Psalm 18:2 (NLT)

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my saviour; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

Psalm 18:2 expresses a deep sense of trust and reliance on God. In the journey of life, we often face storms: moments of difficulty, uncertainty, and challenges. During these times the words of Psalm 18:2 resonate deeply within our hearts. The verse is powerful and reassuring, it reflects the hymn "A Shelter in the Time of Storm."

God is our “Rock” in times of instability and shifting ground, God remains our unyielding foundation. When the storms threaten to knock us off our feet, we can stand firm on the solid rock of the Lord. He is our fortress, a place of safety and protection. God not only shields us from the storms but also delivers us from their impact. In Him, we find a secure refuge.

He is my shield and the horn of my salvation: Imagine God as a shield, guarding us from the onslaught of life's challenges. He is the horn of our salvation, sounding victory over adversity. In Him, we find the strength to overcome. He is also our stronghold: In the midst of chaos, God is our stronghold. He is the place of ultimate safety, where we can find comfort and rest, knowing that we are held securely in His hands. This verse calls us to actively seek refuge in God. Amid life's storms, turn to Him, your shelter and hiding place. In His presence, we find peace and security.

let's cling to the truths found in Psalm 18:2. Our God is not distant or indifferent; He is a present help, our shelter in the time of storm. In every challenge, may we find comfort, strength, and unwavering trust in the One who is our rock and fortress.

The Lord is our rock, in Him we hide, A shelter in the time of storm; Secure whatever ill betide, A shelter in the time of storm.

  Endurance in Suffering: Finding God in Pain" Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."   Romans 5:3-4 is a powerful passage that speaks to finding strength and growth through adversity. Paul encourages believers to find purpose in their suffering. Instead of being defeated by trials, we are called to persevere, knowing that endurance develops character and leads to hope. Reflecting on this passage, finding God in pain can mean recognizing His presence during our trials. Pain is a worldwide experience, something we all face at different points in our lives. In my personal journey as a Christian pain served as a facilitator for growth beyond mere affliction. The loss of a child stands as one of life's most poignant trials for a woman. Enduring several miscarriages, I clung to hope and prayer for a successful pregnancy. Yet, after week...

  " God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss Isaiah 57:1 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." In Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah declares the fate of the righteous, they perish, and it goes unnoticed or misunderstood by people. We often mourn the loss of the righteous without realizing that their departure might be a merciful act from God. He spares them from future evils and suffering that they might otherwise endure. In life’s journey there are times when the events around us seem to challenge our understanding. One such perplexing event is the untimely passing of those who live righteously. Isaiah 57:1 provides a profound insight into God’s wisdom and timing, reminding us that there is a greater purpose behind what we perceive as loss. My own experience is the untimely passing of one of my most precious gift from God, my eighteen-year-old so...

Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress

  Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress 1 Samuel 1:10 (NLT) “Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:10 shows us the deep emotional pain that Hannah was experiencing. She was deeply distressed because she longed for a child and felt the pain of barrenness. Her pain was not just a passing moment but a persistent anguish that weighed on her heart. In her desperation, she turned to God in prayer, pouring out her grief and sorrow. The Lord heard and gave her the desire of her heart. Hannah is an example of someone who is unashamed to pour out their soul to the Lord, because they know that he listens, hears, cares, and relieves even the deepest of pains. When we face moments of deep distress, like Hannah, we are invited to come before God with our hearts wide open, knowing that He sees, hears, and cares. Jesus in Matthew 11:28 tell us to   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  This t...
