A Safe Dwelling Place by Anonymous
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.
When life is so difficult and feels out of control, we long to run to a safe place. A space where we’re protected from the outside world, where we can find the peace we so desperately need.
God gives us strength and wisdom to face the challenges surrounding us. However, He also offers to be our safe shelter, where we are covered by His protection and can experience the warmth of His comfort and love.
The Bible tells us that David called on the Lord for strength and confidence when enemies surrounded him, when he fought Goliath and ran from King Saul. He knew with God, he didn’t have to be afraid. Yet David also recognized an important truth that we often forget. When facing trouble, God gives us a safe place to dwell.
How comforting it is to remember God is our safe shelter! No storms of life, no hidden dangers, no tumultuous world event can disturb our place of sanctuary in and with our God.
Good and loving God, thank You for being our shelter in times of trouble. We run to you today to find safety in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen
