The Rock That Shelters me

Some people grow up on their own. When the strong winds of life blow, they pull their coat over their head (assuming they have one) and they plow forward. Hopefully they come out on the otherside of the storms, weather beaten - but standing. Some get swept off of the road never to regain their footing.
Praise be to God, who is my Rock and my Shelter when the wind begins to blow.
Hear my cry, O God,
listen to my prayer;
from the end of the earth I call to you
when my heart is faint.
Lead me to the rock
that is higher than I,
for you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the enemy.Psalm 61:1-3
Often times, God uses people in our lives as means of shelter for us. Shelter from Him, provided by His saints. What a great blessing that is to have those believers to provide us the loving blessing of fellowship in Christ.
You are the primary means of shelter and refuge for your children - a means of grace, used by the Father in the precious lives of little ones entrusted to you by Him. Pray for them, teach them, protect them. They need you.
