10-27-07 Isaiah 25:4
Isaiah 25:4 (NAS)
For Thou hast been a defense for the helpless, A defense for the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; For the breath of the ruthless Is like a rain storm against a wall.
Isaiah 25:4 (NLT)
But to the poor, O LORD, you are a refuge from the storm. To the needy in distress, you are a shelter from the rain and the heat. For the oppressive acts of ruthless people are like a storm beating against a wall,
Adonai is your refuge and a safe harbor for you. In Him you have a protected stronghold. He makes you firm and strong with His very own strength. He causes you to prevail. You are no longer weak, poor, low, or distressed. Now you are not subject to abuse or oppression, for the Lord has delivered you from all trouble. Jehovah has taken you from those narrow and tight places and He has brought you to a wide place of abundance. He has loosed your bonds, setting you free from the vexation and harassment of the enemy.
When you find yourself in a storm and a heavy downpour of rain, Jehovah is your shelter. He is your refuge from any danger. If you find yourself in a flood of lies and falsehoods, put your trust. hope, and confidence in the Lord your God; He will protect you. When the parching heat is on and you are in the midst of a drought, God will give you shade. You will not be dried up and laid waste. Desolation and ruin is not your lot. The Lord will hover over you, keeping you under the shadow of His wings.
Sometimes your enemies may come against you with fear and terror. The scent of dread and oppression may surround you on every side and you feel pressed against the wall. Even then, do not allow yourself to give in to these ruthless ones. Do not become agitated, troubled, bitter, and discontented. Do not let anger overtake you. Instead remain courageous and patient in their onslaught. Adonai is your shelter and protection. Remind yourself that He will keep you safe.
