Shelter

When it is blazing hot we want the shelter of the shade. When the rain is coming down we look for shelter from the wetness. When it's snowing we need shelter from the cold. Bunkers and cellars even provide shelter from tornadoes and hurricanes. We also need to know we have shelter available in the midst of traumatic life events. We cannot avoid all of the painful things that life brings. We will encounter different types of loss. We run into some awful effects from relationships. We must deal with difficult circumstances in general. These things do not have to burn us up, soak us, or blow us away. "God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble." Our Lord is a shelter from the trauma we will encounter in life. Why stay in the elements when they occur? Go to Him for shelter.
