The Safe Place

As a child, whenever I was scared, I would run to my parents. In their bedroom I felt secure, especially when they wrapped their arms around me.

God's arms protect us even more than any pair of human hands would ever be able to. God's name is a strong tower, that we can always run to when we are being pursued by all sorts of disturbing, nasty, evil and devilish things.

Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe.

When we call upon God in the day of trouble, He hears and is present to help. God is ever present, never absent.  He is never away, nor ever slumbers. He hears us, even when we do not feel so. He hears us, even when we think He doesn't.

David would cry out in the Psalms  My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.

O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but I have no rest. Psalm 22

Even though David walked through the valley of the shadow of death, God was with Him. He therefore came out victorious in the end. His enemies were subdued.

Never ever be afraid. God is with you. You are in a safe place!

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
