Finding Shelter

929 078-LR

Where do we find shelter?

In modern life, people seek shelter and refuge in many places, for instance many seek it in money and possessions.  Others might seek it in a relationship with a loved one, while others might seek it in their careers or professions… Some might even try to find refuge in drugs or drink.

None of these can really protect us from much, for the things of men will perish after a season.  In spite of this grim reality, shelter and refuge are available for anyone who seeks them; we need only to seek them in the right place.

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.”

Psalm 91:1-2

Do we seek the shelter of God?

Will we dwell in His ways, walk His path and do His will? I’d have to say this is an important question, for in our answer lies our destiny.  If we answer “no” there will be no place to take refuge, but if we answer “yes” our security is assured now and for ever.

  4. I used to find shelter in the materialized world, but it was always temporary. I now find it in God’s arms. It’s the only good safe shelter and always here, on time and available.

    Where are you seeking to find shelter?

  6. I have weathered Earthquakes, fires, and tornadoes under the Almighty’s wings I am Particularly fond of Psalm 91 or as I know it the soldier’s Psalm. Been to combat twice under God’s wings and come home!
