THE BEST PROTECTION YOU CAN HAVE!

      As I'm sitting here writing this I can hear the wind whistling outside. I hear it as it hits the side of the house and the shutters. It's now 35 degrees outside! The wind is blowing out of the North at 19 mph which makes it feel like 24 degrees! But inside my house I'm wearing a tank top and sweat pants with no socks. What's my point?


     My house is a shelter from the wind, the rain, the cold, and the snow. So I am confident that I will be okay in spite of what's going on outside. In my shelter I am safe, warm, and have everything I need to survive a long, cold winter in Northwest Indiana.

     My house is a physical shelter just as God is a spiritual shelter from the horrible people and things that try to get to me. David said to God, "For You have been a shelter for me,A strong tower from the enemy." (Psalms 61:3 KJV). He later said, "Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I run to you to hide me." (Psalms 143:9 NLT) David understood who his enemies were, and he also understood how to escape from the wind, rain, snow and cold that came after him. He took his shelter in God!

     So as you go through your day today, think about the things that have been plaguing you. Think about the worries, the concerns, issues, problems and challenges you face as you go throughout your day. Then think about God! He is there to shelter you from anything that comes your way is you just put on the "whole armour of God" you can stand against the attack of the enemy. Don't let the flaming arrows the devil send your way hit you square on! Jump immediately behind the shelter that God provides just for you and you will know unending peace in spite of what's going on around you. You will be able to wear your tank top and sweat pants with no socks on even in the dead of a winter season in your life!!

Glory to God!
