“Be good to me, God—and now! I’ve run to you for dear life. I’m hiding out under your wings until the hurricane blows over. I call out to High God, the God who holds me together. He sends orders from heaven and saves me, he humiliates those who kick me around. God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word.” Psalm 57 – 1-5 (MSG)

If you ever needed an “in the midst of the storm” promise, this is it!  Storms do come, that’s true, but there is a place of help and hiding, a place to be held, and loved.  A place that is home, safe and secure, for you. 

You can tuck yourself up under the shelter of God’s wings until these storms have passed.  Run to Him; tell Him what it is. Tell Him exactly what is troubling you now and how you feel.  He’ll send orders from on high to calm those raging seas and lead you safely to the secure shores of His love, where you can rest awhile, until the storms have passed.  And they will pass beloved one; they will most certainly pass.

Don’t let worry overwhelm you, dear heart, in the midst of all that swirls around. He does not want that for you. You can trust Him completely, for His Word is His bond, and He would never lie to you. Strong and able, He will hold you together when it feels like everything is falling apart—loving, healing, and helping—fulfilling His promises and perfecting His plans.

Cherished one, you belong to Creator God!  There will be no shortage for you!
