And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

| I love rainy days—when I have an umbrella. |
I
love rainy days. The rest of my family are sun worshippers, but I look forward
to those cozy days, hemmed with rain and raveled in jagged strips of lightning.
I especially love walking in the rain. There’s just something comforting in
huddling beneath a large umbrella, safe and dry, while the world around me is
wet.
It
occurred to me that this is a perfect picture of what God does with us. As we
move about our days, we’re sheltered by Him. Once we put our faith in God, He
becomes our shield—our umbrella in a dreary world. That’s not to say bad things
don’t happen, they definitely do. But we’re sheltered by His peace and the
knowledge of His perfect love for every single one of us.
