"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. The eyes of those who see will not be dim and the ears of those who hear will listen." Isaiah 32;2,3
These words were like gold to me yesterday...a new verse that I had not found or noticed before stock full of images that represent refuge. In these prophetic verses about the coming King there is a definite need. A windy, stormy place; a dry and weary land....yes, I can relate to those places in my life. And yes, I am hungry for the life and shelter you bring to these places. These verses bring to mind another shelter you speak of in Isaiah- being held next to the heart of Jesus, just like a little child... " He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm and carry them close to His heart..." Is. 40:11
Let me be this little lamb Jesus! Hold me close, let my eyes see clearly and my ears be sensitive and listening for Your voice.
"Everybody rests at the end of the day, what a gain if everybody could rest in the waiting arms of the Father, and listen until He whispers." Brother Lawrence
