Storm Surges

Introduction: By definition a Storm Surge is a tidal wave, tsunami. It includes flooding….as this devotion is being written we are under a hurricane-tropical storm warning. Storms come blowing in and many are unprepared. This includes weather related storms as well as spiritual related storms. Are you Storm ready? Where will you go when hurricane winds blow? 
 
Here are a few biblical passages that can be Storm Shelters.
 

1. A Strong Tower! (Prov 18:10) – “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”

Did you notice the word “strong” tower? Not just any old tower but Jesus is a “strong” refuge.

2. A Hiding Place! (Psa 32:7) – “Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.”

Hide in Jesus. He is our strong shelter in a storm.

3. A Secret Place! (Psa 91:1) – “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

The key words are “dwelling” and “abiding”. Without these two the other truth is irrelevant.

4. A Rock! (Psa 61:1-3) – “Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.”

Think about it. Jesus is an unmovable ROCK!

Conclusion: Everybody needs a SAFE PLACE from the storms of life. Do you have one? Run to Jesus.
