He will hide me in his Holy Tent, or he will keep me safe on a high mountain.My head is higher than my enemies around me. I will offer joyful sacrifices in his Holy Tent.

“The storms of winter often bring out the defects in a man’s dwelling, and sickness often exposes the gracelessness of a man’s soul. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.” George Macdonald “How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to him because we have nowhere else to go. Our hope in Christ stabilizes us in the storms of life, but unlike an anchor, it does not hold us back.” Charles R. “If we are to cultivate habits of private prayer and devotion that will weather the storms and remain constant in crisis, our objective must be something larger and greater than our personal preoccupations and longing for self-fulfillment.” Alistair Begg


“In order to realize the worth of the anchor we need to feel the stress of the storm.” Corrie ten Boom “In the storms, winds and waves, He whispers, “Fear not, I am with you.” Whether loss of a job, health crisis, loss of a loved one, or financial struggle God often brings storms into our lives to change our perspective, to shift the focus from ourselves and our lives to Him.” Paul Chappell “Often we become apathetic in our lives until we face a severe storm. “Storms in life are not meant to break us but to bend us towards God.” He wants us to find Him in the midst of it first.” “We want Christ to hurry and calm the storm. “God sends the storm to show that He is the only shelter.”
