Shelter from the storm

As you go through the storms of life, know that you have a rock solid shelter that will keep those falling bricks of accusations, those slicing knives of hate, those shredding blades of jealousy, those icy stares of contempt and those downright mean words from touching your soul.
You may feel some of the cold blast, maybe feel a bit of a pinprick here and there, and possibly a slight surface wound; but nothing that will scathe your soul or leave a deep scarring. God is your solid shelter from the elements of life that come at you!

He tells us to make sure we are geared up for the battles of life in Ephesians 6: 10-18, by putting on the FULL armor of God. God equips us with all we need to fight that old enemy, satan. When people abuse you, talk about you and hurt you, remember that satan is busy working to cause you pain and suffering.
We will go through this from time to time, but it will not define us nor have a lasting effect, as long as we remember WHOSE we are!
