My Safe Place

Psalm 46

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and loam and the mountains quake with their surging.” 46:1-3 – from my cousin, Cathryn

God is my safe place. If I will rest in Him, the weight of the world is lifted off my back. When I forget to find my solace in Him, I feel like I am being pressed in on every side. There are so many things for me to stress about right now – my job, my family, our finances, the church family, etc.  I get so wrapped up in “what if’s” and “if only’s” that I start to feel like I’m going to explode.  But even if every one of those things falls apart around me, my God will be my help through it all.  He has already proven that to me. With the accident, absolutely, but even before that.  I can look back and see how He delivered me from sin, and heartache, and burdens that I didn’t think I could bear.  Then the unimaginable happened and He had prepared me.  He has proven Himself to me over and over and I cannot doubt Him.  He is my safe place.
