New Port Harbor by Dee
Safety
of His Harbor
A harbor full of tiny fishing boats , a huge
man-made rock jetty and the Pacific Ocean in the distance was my privileged
view while we visiting the Oregon Coast recently.
Storms on the Oregon Coast in the winter are of
hurricane proportion. On this January day a huge storm was building up fast. With
interest I observed the fishermen securing their boats to the docks in the
little harbor.
What a contrasting sight I was able to see from my
window! The waves from the stormy sea were crashing over the rock jetty, but
here in the little harbor all was calm as if by the hand of God.
”LORD,
help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the
waves.
What
a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!”
Psalm
107:28-30 NLT
God
provides protection for all who seek Him for help. When we open our heart and
cling to His promises we are brought into the safe harbor of His unfailing love.
He may not calm the storm right away, but He will tie us securely to Him and give us the strength to ride it out until all is calm once again.
