A Shelter in the Time of Storm

I just returned from a short walk this cloudy and cool morning. Looking up at the sky and seeing the clouds move quickly to the east in preparation for the coming storm begining sometime late this afternoon or early evening.The temperature will drop to below freezing and we are expecting rain mixed with sleet and even some snow. Personally I like snow, but NOT sleety, rainy, yuky weather!
People are beginning to prepare by filling up their gas tanks, storing up food, and batting down the hatches. This would be a wise thing because alot of Oklahomians are not used to this type of weather and struggle to get around. Please pray for the elderly and others in need that they might be safe and stay warm!
This brings me to to my morning thought...As christians, we cannot expect every day to be a sunny day. Storms come and storms go, but what stays the same...The shelter in the time of storm! I have a fire place and I plan on using it alot in the next couple of days even if the electricity goes out, I'll be able to stay warm. I like my fire place! I like how it feels and I like how it works...its so manly! lol Even if its cold outside my home will always be warm!
My home is my shelter; my God is my shelter! A shelter in the time of storm...When the winds blow and the rain falls in our daily lives we have a place to go to be safe and to stay warm. God lets storms come, but He always provides a place of shelter for those that seek it. How comforting to know that inspite of this life's weather our God loves us enough and cares for us the most to keep us safe and protected!
Stay warm this week...a storm is coming, but God is here!
