The Storm

Scripture:

Psalm 91

Psalm 91:1-2 (NIV)
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

Devotional:

Our house is surrounded by trees.  On windy and stormy days you can just see the tops of the pines waving back and forth.  Yet I can stand outside on the front porch and not feel the strong winds.  You see evidence of the storm raging on all around us.  Our little home is nestled quietly surrounded by the woods.

Are you in the middle of a storm?  Is everything a struggle?  Do you feel that you are constantly under attack?  Remember that through it all you are not alone.  If you call upon Him God will wrap you in His loving arms.  He will protect you keeping the enemy and all his attackers from you.  Like my house tucked in the woods you can be tucked within the folds of God’s arms.  He will keep the enemy’s attacks from you, protecting you from the storm.  You will be able to see the effects all around, but you will be kept safe.  All you have to do is call upon God and trust in Him.  When you feel overwhelmed and that you are being attacked from all sides pause long enough to read Psalm 91.  Pray and know God is with you protecting you.  You will see the trees swaying in the storm but you will be kept safe.
