And 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)
But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! (Matthew 8:27)
Charles Spurgeon

In times of affliction, He is a refuge that never fails. We should take refuge in Him and rest in His protection. He is our blessed Jesus, our hiding place in stormy weather. Read more...
