Harbour in the Storm – your Lion Bite word for today

Jeremiah 2:13 NIV My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

I am the source of all solutions, of all hope, all joy, all peace.  I am the source of all wisdom and revelation.  I am the pure source, the unbroken channel, the untainted, unfiltered, pure source of life.  

Like a boat tossed in a storm, the temptation is to run to other lights, to other sources; to those that seem quicker, or easier, nearer, more familiar, or even seem safer.  Like the Israelites who even longed to go back to captivity when discouraged, or the times my people turned to Egypt for her strength instead of mine; do not be tempted to run to any other port but mine!  Do not be tempted to think ‘any port in a storm’.  I am your first port of call, your port in any storm.  I am your safe harbour.   

Hebrews 6:19 NIV We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure….

Isaiah 31:1 NIV Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the Lord.
