THE Lord is slow to anger, and great in power. The Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm.” Nahum 1:3.
Would you like to be out in a storm like this? See the waves dash up against the rocks. How often when out in a storm, people cry to God for mercy. Then when He maketh the storm a calm, they forget God all together. The still, small voice of conscience often causes unrest but that is sometimes stifled. Yet God is slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. He willeth not that any should perish.
He has provided a shelter from the great storm that is coming when the day of grace is ended and the door is shut. The door is open now and all who will may enter in.
Jesus is the strong Rock and house of defense. He says “I am the door; by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.” John 10:9.
“THE LORD IS MY ROCK, AND MY FORTRESS, AND MY DELIVERER: THE GOD OF MY ROCK; IN HIM WILL I TRUST.” 2 Sam. 22:2, 3.
