God's Gracious Covering
God's Gracious Covering | August 29, 2023
One of the more valuable inventions is the umbrella. While some date the origins 3,500 years back to Egypt and China, the umbrella, as we know it today with the steel ribbed design, was invented by Samuel Fox in 1852. The Billionaire Couture Luxury Umbrella is the most expensive one, which can be yours for $50,000! Even though you've probably had the untimely experience of having a heavy rain and wind storm turn your cheaper umbrella inside out, you are not spending that kind of money. However, you can still find a reliable umbrella that stands up to inclement weather for a more reasonable cost. The most productive umbrellas are resistant to wind and rain, just like the best rain jackets and boots.
When it comes to the storms of life, you also need a trustworthy covering! Thus, think of God's goodness and protection like an umbrella that provides shelter in times of need.
Psalm 91:1-2 declares, "Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust him."
To live in the shelter of the Most High, you need to be in the family of God. To find rest in the Almighty's shadow, you need "to be still" and know He is God. With this peaceful mindset, you will believe and declare God as your refuge and covering no matter how aggressive or big your storm may be!
