I shared this morning at my church in Albuquerque about all the flooding taking place back in my home state of Iowa. I was reminded how fragile we are and that we can take nothing for granted. Yet there are verses of the Bible that we can, in a very literal sense, take for granted.
Isaiah 40:8 - The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
Are we standing with that which stands forever?
I was reminded of my favorite song from the latest Sovereign Grace record, Come Ye Weary Saints (check it out here:
), I Have A Shelter. You can check it out here: I think we'll be teaching this one at our church soon. These lyrics ministered to me as I pondered the suffering in my home state of Iowa. I have a shelter in the storm
When troubles pour upon me
Though fears are rising like a flood
My soul can rest securely
O Jesus, I will hide in You
My place of peace and solace
No trial is deeper than Your love
That comforts all my sorrows
I have a shelter in the storm
When all my sins accuse me
Though justice charges me with guilt
Your grace will not refuse me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
Who bore my condemnation
I find my refuge in Your wounds
For there I find salvation
I have a shelter in the storm
When constant winds would break me
For in my weakness, I have learned
Your strength will not forsake me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
The One who bears my burdens
With faithful hands that cannot fail
You’ll bring me home to heaven
