IN our picture today, dear children, there is every appearance of an arising storm. The ' young girl, no doubt is hurrying along, hoping to reach her destination before the storm breaks upon her. She is obliged to hold her hat, lest the wind carry it away.
How strong the wind is, sometimes carrying little people off their feet: yet God is stronger, and can gather the wind in His fists (Prow. 30:4). A storm frightened the Lord's disciples:
Always remember, dear ones, all is in God's hand, and though "He causeth the wind to blow," it is for a purpose.
We must seek the best shelter available from high wind, hail or lightning. Then how needless, how foolish it is for us to be afraid in a storm, because nothing can cause us injury unless God allows it. The same God who protected the three Hebrew boys in the burning fiery furnace, is our refuge now.
There is a storm coming upon the whole world, the storm of judgm4su for the rejection of God's Son, but all who have taken shelter in Christ are perfectly secure.
To any who have not this "Hiding Place" , be sure to come to Him now, believing that you are a sinner and that He died and rose to save you. We know not how soon the storm of judgment may break; but the Lord will first take His own from the world.
