“Mountains don’t care!” I once saw a sign with these words on a hike in Colorado. The message was clear. Hiking in the mountains is dangerous and possibly life-threatening, so be smart and avoid unnecessary risks.

On the journey of life, we inevitably encounter danger. Someone may try to harm us, or we may just find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. We may lose that which we hold dear. Sometimes we face resistance simply for trying to do what we think is right. Whether it comes as an accident or with malicious intent, it will happen. Perhaps it has already.

When we find ourselves in the midst of the squall, we have somewhere to turn. Wounded, scared, alone—God is our shelter. Lost, disoriented, confused—God is our guide. When the path grows too difficult, and you’re not sure how to proceed, seek refuge. God is your rescue.
