I live in Southwest Missouri. In the springtime, we experience some extreme weather. Namely, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. These weather situations are no surprise to anyone who lives in this region because they occur every year around this time.
In life, storms will come. This, we cannot control.
Sometimes we can see them coming and take cover. Other times, storms come out of nowhere and we are too far from shelter to do anything but pray. (And prayer is enough.)
There is a peace that doesn’t make sense. As a Believer, you have this peace within you. You are never too far from Shelter, no matter how quickly the storm arises. The Shelter is within each and every Believer. It’s our choice to endure the brunt of the storms of life or to take Shelter.
His Shelter is strong. His Shelter will stand. His Shelter will protect. We may hear the wind around us. We may see the devastation around us. We may even have some scars. However, His Shelter will stand and we will have victory.
Jesus left His Peace with us. He let us know that we have a choice to take Shelter. He is the Prince of Peace and is more than happy to provide His Shelter, no matter the strength of the storm.
I encourage you to read the following scriptures and commit them to heart. You never know when you will need to seek Shelter.
John 14:27
Philippians 4:7
