Safe Harbor

The two rows of rocks in front of the Brandywine Shoal Lighthouse (see previous article and picture) form a harbor where ships can get out of stormy weather. I think it's great to be out on the water, but not during a storm.

On a recent lighthouse tour of the Delaware Bay lighthouses we were told that some lighthouse keepers went to bed wearing a life jacket! They didn't feel safe without a life jacket because often the lighthouse would get rammed by a ship. Some lightkeepers drowned.

I was reminded that Safety is of the Lord when the tour guide told us this story.

Lifeline: God's harbor of refuge is the only true place of safety
