Isa 25:4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

Jesus

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

My Thoughts

God has always been there, ready for us to call upon in our distress. Marriage problems, sickness or financial troubles, times when we are confused ie the world is seemingly falling apart. If we are in an impossible situation and there is no way out. God is our refuge. He is our place of hope even when there is no reason to hope. A place of peace and rest. Our God is Awesome!

(Cebuano) Kay ikaw nahimong usa ka malig-ong dalangpanan sa tawong kabus, usa ka malig-ong saliganan sa tawong hangul diha sa iyang kagul-anan, usa ka dalangpanan gikan sa bagyo, usa ka landong gikan sa kainit, sa diha nga mohuyop ang makalilisang nga hangin sama sa bagyo batok sa malig-on nga bungbong.

(Spanish RV) Porque fuiste fortaleza al pobre, fortaleza al menesteroso en su aflicción, amparo contra el turbión, sombra contra el calor: porque el ímpetu de los violentos es como turbión contra frontispicio

Tagalog AB) Sapagka't ikaw ay naging ampunan sa dukha, ampunan sa mapagkailangan sa kaniyang kahirapan, silongan sa bagyo, lilim sa init, pagka ang hihip ng mga kakilakilabot ay parang bagyo laban sa kuta.
