A Strong Habitation

“Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort…” -Psalms 71:3

You may never be able to fully understand these words unless you have been through a disaster. If you have lived in a state where you have been through a tornado, a fire, a hurricane, etc., you know what it is to seek out a “strong habitation.”

A few years ago, South Haiti was hit with the force of a terrifying hurricane. We were asked to go down and bring supplies. While there, a friend of ours told us that one of his workers discovered a “cave” where hundreds of families had turned to, where the hurricane hit.

Bobby went down to see the families who were in the cave. The opening was so small that he had to go on his knees and crawl on his belly to get inside. There, to his amazement, were many families with their children inside this musty, nasty cave that had bats. They were praying, singing, and thanking God for saving their lives. They had found a “strong habitation.” His name is Jesus!

Today, if you are facing a battle, or are in a storm, run to Jesus! Run to the Rock! He is your strong habitation! It’s going get better!
