Faith Christian Assembly
There are seasons in life when storms enter with a vengeance. The torrents of life seem to relentlessly blast without mercy. But thankfully, believers can confidently trust in God’s word, which promises a hiding place. Isaiah 32:2 says “A man will be as a hiding place from the wind, And a cover from the tempest, As rivers of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
It’s obvious who this “man” isreferringtoultimately. Jesus is the one people can run to and hide in to provide a safe place. He is the only one who give peace in the midst of a storm.
Isaiah 32:2 says “this rock is found in a weary land—A land where there is fatigue and where one is feeling overwhelmed without any refreshment and shelter.” There are places in Africa where the temperature in the shade stays at 100 degrees —where the slightest breeze felt like a flame coming against the face. But in the distance there can be found a huge rock leaning against a small cliff facing the sun where one can go for refuge underneath its cool shade, where the coolness emitted from this rock can be counted on to be refreshing.
This is what is found in the savior, as Psalm 18:2 says, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
