As for the story behind the song, Dottie has shared how the song came to be.
"There had been a very bad storm the day before, and driftwood was scattered along the beach. I was going through a time that was a low valley for me. It was sort of a 'storm' in my own life,” Dottie shared. “As the whitecaps broke across the water, and as I walked among the driftwood and the seaweed with my guitar strapped over my shoulder, I pondered the lyrics of several songs that the Lord seemed to be giving to me at the time."
She continued: "All of a sudden I thought, 'Lord, this storm is so much like my life, and yet, in the midst of the storms of life, you have been a shelter to me. When I can't take the storm, I run to you for that shelter and, suddenly, I feel secure. While thinking on those things and watching as the wind kicked up the waters, I began to write a song.”
We hope that the song ‘Sheltered In The Arms Of God’ was an encouragement for you today!
