He Is Our Shelter
The wind at my house yesterday roared like a freight train for almost eight hours. Trees are down all over, including a large one on my neighbor's roof, but we seem to be unscathed. Sometimes life hits us hard and then keeps hitting us hard. Each difficulty shouts in our ears, layer upon layer, until the time comes when the sweet sounds of joy are absent from our spirit- we only hear the crescendoing roar of our struggles. Understand this- that roar is not from God. It is the roar of the enemy who wants to destroy you. The roars of Satan offer depression, bitterness, anxiety, fear and despair.
But when you open the Word of God and turn your ears to the Lord, His still, soft voice brings hope and healing, faith and joy. During those trials when God seems silent, reject the voices of the enemy and fill your mind with God's promises. HE is our Refuge and our Strength. HE is our Shelter and our Stronghold. Our victory has already been won! Be blessed! -Pastor Brad
