Job 24:8
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.”
מַחֲסֶה
A place you run to when the storm hits. Not built by human hands. The psalmist had seen cities fall, mountains shake, waters roar — and still declared God as refuge. Not because the storm stopped, but because the shelter held.
