Psalm 55:8 ” I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm.”

King David’s deep desire in this Scripture was to escape from overwhelming turmoil and find refuge from life’s storms in the Lord. He readily sought God as a safe place of peace and protection. Throughout the Scriptures, storms were used as a metaphor for trials, dangers, challenges, and circumstances that seem out of our control. In Isaiah 25:4 he writes that God is a shelter from the storm and a refuge from not only external threats, but inner turmoil alike. For God sometimes calms the storm…but sometimes He just calms the storm within us.
