"Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed." ~ Psalm 57:1 NIV
Why should God have mercy on me? Because I take refuge in Him. I've admitted I'm not good enough - I can't earn salvation on my own. (No one can by the way - all have sinned and fall short of the glory [Romans 3, I think]) When disasters come, we can take courage and find solace in Jesus, in the shadow of His wings - or the Eye Of the Hurricane.
And disasters WILL come, we can't help that. What we can do is run to Jesus, is to pray and watch the scenery change. God, in His wisdom, knows what we need, but likes to give it to us when we ask for it. Shift focus, find Jesus in your hurricanes are realize that the only place you can be truly safe is in God's embrace - the eye of a hurricane.
