When my family lived in Kansas, our home came with a “safe room.” This room was designed and built to withstand a tornado. This room was just big enough for our family to fit into along with food supplies. The door, nearly three-inches thick, had three “dead-bolt” locks in which to secure the door tightly. It was reassuring to know we had a convenient place in which to go for shelter and safety from horrific storms. The same is true for our spiritual lives. In this fallen world, we are always in need of shelter from the tempest of “spiritual storms” that are raging around us in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12 , “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” The “shelter” is, none other than, God our Heavenly Father. Proverbs 18:10 , “The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.” Eve
