The Storm is Upon Us-Isaiah 26
The Storm is Upon Us
The wind whips us with forty lashes minus one.
The rain pelts in wave upon wave of needle pricks.
The air turns cold as the feeder bands come,
one after the other, in a relentless parade of persecution.
The storm is upon us, and there is no mistaking it.
Go to the inner room.
To the place of seclusion and safety.
Rest there in the stillness.
It is dark, windowless to the raging all around us.
The storm is upon us, and there is no mistaking it.
But God, You are our refuge.
You are the Master of the storm and the Stiller of the seas.
You silence the wind and shut the door to the storehouses of hail.
You govern the rain and the tides.
You set limits and seasons, and for that, Lord, we praise You.
The storm is upon us, but there is eternal safety for the righteous.
It’s a Passover of wrath in the quiet place of the heart.
In the heart secure in Christ.
His hand shields us as destruction befalls the wicked.
In Christ’s sanctuary of the soul,
We are at peace and rest,
And faith reigns unchallenged.
For our God is completely trustworthy.
The storm may be upon us, but there is eternal safety for the righteous.
As You say in Your Word,
“You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.”
(Isaiah 26:3-4)
Amen and amen.
