Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Is. 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. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)
When we pray sometimes, there’s no answer. But this much we need know that a sincere prayer from the heart is always answered. No matter what the prayer, God answers it for He has said that in His Word. No one can change or alter it and when God utters a Word, it is forever. No situation dare go against God and there’s none who can defy Him. He holds all power in His hand and He can do anything - we learn in the Bible and we witness His Awesomeness in His creation.
Today’s Scripture tells us that He is a strength to the poor and the needy in distress. He is a refuge from the storm and shade from the heat. When the wanton create an uproar, He quells it; it’s like a storm ranged against the massive wall which though it rave and rant, cannot cross the wall. Yes, God is a refuge. We may not know it or we may think otherwise but God is a refuge against all danger.
Pro. 18:10 says, the Name of the Lord is a strong tower and the righteous run into it and are safe. Is it too difficult to believe this? The storms of life may make us bitter with God when we feel our prayers aren’t answered and the pain the storms bring us are too difficult to bear that we seem to sink. But honestly, I’ve yet to notice a righteous one succumb to his problems for God watches over him. Trials come and go and sometimes, there’re trials after trials, making us so weak not knowing what to do. We shout, ‘God where are you?’ and there’s no answer. At this time, let’s remember what He says in His Word: He is strength to the needy in distress and a refuge from tribulation.
