God is My Refuge and An Anchor in The Midst of A Storm

I was vividly reminded today that God is my refuge. I prayed all weekend and yesterday that the expected hurricane would pass us by. It wasn't until I let go of my anxious thoughts, reminded myself that God knows what I need, and how he has held me up in times past that I relaxed. I realized that I have been holding too tightly to things that aren't stable. Some people take refuge in their work, while others take refuge in church. Please don't get me wrong church has played a significant role in providing sanctuary, but it isn't a refuge.

In today's world where we see signs daily of the Lord's coming, it is sometimes hard to focus in on what's important. All of us need an anchor right now in the midst of this storm. We also need to reach out to others to let them know that they need to get right with God. I am reminded of the song that was first played on January 1st, and has become my theme song..."Almost Home." It has taken a little while to sink in that the Lord is speaking to us through this song. He's telling us that we're almost home.

I just have to take refuge in him, realizing that it won't be that much longer before I see him. I know what some of you are going to say right now. "You can't predict his coming." No, I can't predict it but know that everything that has been written in the bible about the end times is coming to pass right before our eyes. We just need to hang onto him, and not give into those who would steal us away if they could. I know that I am anchored in him. I am not afraid to write these words. I actually hope that someone sees them, and finds their refuge in him.

In a few more months we will see the Lord work to flush out the evil that has crept in. Actually if I can believe everything I'm seeing the Lord is already at work exposing the evil. I can't predict what's going to happen in November. I trust God that he will continue to protect me and love me.
