Seeing God in the Storm

Thou hast been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat.
Isaiah 25:4

Will your imagination work today?
Can you close your eyes and be very still
for just a few minutes . . .
placing yourself in the pictures God paints?
He wants to speak to you.
Lord, I am helpless.
I am in distress, so very needy;
I am in a raging storm and the magnitude
of the storm
frightens me.
And oh Lord, I am exhausted because
of the heat
the scorching sun
the endlessness
of a barren
forsaken desert.
You tell me, Lord,
that You are a defense
for the helpless
and for the needy;
that You are a
refuge and
a shade.Lord, I run to You and cling to you,
that You may be ALL of these
things in my life.
Thank You.
He will be as real to you as you allow Him to be.
