A Shelter in the Storm

I have spent time with many people lately who seem to be going through a storm.  The truth is we all are either in one, coming out of one, or headed into one.  God's promise is this:  "I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you.  You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire, and the flame will not burn you."  Isaiah 43:2.

I am so thankful for the word of God.  We are constantly reminded of His presence and power in us and around us.  Psalm 119:114 says "You are my shelter and my shield; I put my hope in Your word."  In the past week I've been with people going through all types of struggles.  I have been reminded that Jesus is the shelter in the storm.

Whatever storm you are facing or going through, do not abandon the Lord.  He is with you in the storm.  He will never abandon you.  He will walk you through the storm.  He will be glorified.  He cares for you.  Trust Him.  Completely.  The storm will pass.  Another one will come.  He remains the same.

prayerfully,
Bruce
