Yet . . .

 

When things seem
at their worst

with no end
in sight

help me rejoice
in You, Lord

to joy in the God
of my life.

**********

I can choose to trust You in situations I don’t understand, and rejoice in You, for You are with me.

“Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls – “

“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”

Habakkuk 3:17 18 NKJV

In The Shelter Of

“When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.” Acts 27:4

A good shelter must be large enough to cover us and stronger than what we seek shelter from.

Lord, we thank You for being our Shelter and Tower of Refuge – big enough to cover all Your children and stronger than any adversity that we might face. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Port of Salvation

Waves of doubt overwhelm us
the sea is far too vast

yet we’ve set sail and our ship
is speeding forward fast.

How can we reach our destination
who could possibly survive

without the salvation of our Jesus
and the shelter He provides.
