The Tempasts and Shelter

Isaiah 4:6
 "There will be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain."
25:4
 "For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,"
Psalm 27:5
"For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock."
55:8
"I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest."
61:4
"Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! Selah"
91:1
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty."

      Lord, You have given us so many promises about being our shelter in the storms of life.  As hurricane Sandy bears down on the East Coast today and tomorrow, may You be merciful to those folks who live in  that area.  This is the second hurricane is 2 years to hit the Northeast harder than the traditional places in the South.  I know You have believers in those states and in DC, but it seems that the majority there have turned their back on You and Your word.  Lord, those who have do not have the hope believers have of either protection here or deliverance forever with You.  I long for them to come to the truth, to turn from their wickedness, perversion and human pride in themselves and come to the foot of the cross for forgiveness and salvation.
      Dearest Lord, our nation does not deserve Your protection anymore because our national sin is very great.  Lord, may we all see the need for repentance and another Great Awakening that will not be localized in one state , tow, or village, but all over our blessed land before it is too late for us like it was for Israeal so many times in her past.
Lord, have mercy on us all!
