Christ Our Hiding Place

In our picture, 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.

How strong the wind is, sometimes carrying little people off their feet: yet God is stronger, and can gather the wind in His fists (Prov. 30:4⁴Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? (Proverbs 30:4)). A storm frightened the Lord’s disciples.

“Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.” Matthew 8:26²⁶And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. (Matthew 8:26).

Always remember, dear ones, all is in God’s hand, and though “He causeth the wind to blow,” it is for a purpose.

There is a storm coming upon the whole world, the storm of judgment for the rejection of God’s; Son, but all who have taken shelter in Christ are perfectly secure:.

“A Man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.” Isaiah 32:2²And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. (Isaiah 32:2).

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.

“Whoso putteth His trust in the Lord shall be safe.” Proverbs 29:25²⁵The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. (Proverbs 29:25).
