Refuge In The Storm
by Danny Taylor | June 7, 2011
I have always called Arkansas my home. Arkansas is a beautiful state and
you can experience many amazing things that God has created. One of
those things is severe weather. After last week I can honestly say that
my ability to read and understand weather radar has improved a great
deal. I was glued to the television tracking the storms and watching the
sky. My mind was consumed with weather. When the storm came close Teresa
and I stuffed our kids into the laundry room and strongly warned them of
the danger that was near. I couldn't help but notice that my children
were very concerned for our family and friends that were spread all
around the state.They had an urgency in their heart for the safety and
lives for those around them.
That same urgency is what we need for the lost people in our communities, our state, our country and our world. We need to warn others that they are dead in their sins and on a path that leads them to destruction! Over time people become numb to the severe weather warnings that are being broadcast via television or radio.People run out on their porches and look in the direction that the storm is coming from. They hop in their trucks and go chasing after this massive whirlwind of death for a thrill. Some have forgotten about the dangerous position that their in. Others may know of the dangerous place that they are in, but never think that it would ever cause them death. (Proverbs 1: 24-29) Sadly, people often view their sins the same way they view storms. They don't take Jesus' warning seriously. Do not allow yourself to be caught in this position, accept Jesus as your Savior, repent of your sins and trust in Him to deliver you from the storm! May the Lord truly bless you and yours today!
