3.3.18 – “When the saints read that “God is our
refuge and strength,” they may have thought of the cities of refuge with their
suburbs that provided protection for those who had slain a man without malice
or forethought. All one had to do to find a safe haven was to make it to the
outskirts of the city. Christ is our “refuge and strength” and if we come to
Him we will find a safe and secure resting place. If you put your trust in Him
He will never fail you.” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for you to
find a “shelter in the time of storm” in our Jesus!
Matthew
11:28 Come unto me, all ye
that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly
in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV
“The elderly pastor was searching his
closet for his collar before church one Sunday morning. In the back of the
closet, he found a small box containing 3 eggs and 100 $1 bills. He called his
wife into the closet to ask her about the box and its contents. Embarrassed,
she admitted having hidden the box there for their entire 30 years of marriage.
Disappointed and hurt, the pastor asked her, “WHY?” The wife replied that she
hadn’t wanted to hurt his feelings. He asked her how the box could have hurt
his feelings. She said that every time during their marriage that he had
delivered a poor sermon, she had placed an egg in the box. The pastor felt that
3 poor sermons in 30 years was certainly nothing to feel bad about, so he asked
her what the $100 was for. She replied, “Each time I got a dozen eggs, I sold
them to the neighbors’ for $1.” ChristiansUnite.com
