Refuge

Isaiah 25
Verse  4 "But you are a tower of refuge to the poor, O Lord, a tower of refuge to the needy in distress. You are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat.
For the oppressive acts of ruthless people are like a storm beating against a wall"

The question is never will there be storms, storms come to every heart and every life. The question has always been where will you seek refuge from the storm, Isaiah gave us the answer to that question, O'Lord you are a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the heat. Storms reap there greatest havoc in our lives when we run to the wrong refuge, pride causes us to think we can weather the storm alone or fear causes us to hide in unsafe shelters trusting in things that will fall apart around us in the midst of the storm, increasing our pain and reinforcing the stronghold of fear. But God is a refuge from the storm and a shelter from the scorching heat that trys to beat us down and consume all of our energy and strength. The question is not will the storms come, but where will you run for refuge, run to the Lord.

Psalm 61:3 "for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me."
