"...a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest..." Isaiah 32:2
In another beautiful messianic prophecy, Isaiah describes the power and protection, provision and peace that characterises the Lord Jesus and His life and ministry on earth among men. He has Himself, weathered and conquered the worse of the winds and storms of life. As the greatest overcomer in His humanity and the Almighty God in His deity, Jesus is able to protect and secure, to shield and keep safe, those who follow after Him! Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ will find Him to be a place of hiding from destruction, a cover from the winds of temptation and a safe house in troubled times. In the worst of squalls and when tossed by the waves and billows of life's tempests; when there is no place to run and no place to hide - there is peace and safety in Christ Jesus. He is the only One who can say 'peace be still' to our wind-torn, wave-tossed, sin-sick souls. He alone can bring permanent tranquillity to our anxious, confused minds, distressed, aching hearts and damaged, ravaged lives. We must learn to lean on Jesus early in our miseries; He is our hiding place and strong defence.
