A Safe Place

Psalms 31:19-20 (NLT) 31:19 How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. 20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence, safe from those who conspire against them. You shelter them in your presence, far from accusing tongues.

Every one needs a safe place – away from all the troubles life brings us. It’s one thing to say that we trust God. It’s another to believe that He is actually going to do what He says. Our eyes see the bad in situations and in people. We don’t see God’s provision and blessing that God promises to His children. The world can be very harsh at times. It can drain you of your physical and spiritual energy. We need to realize that God wants to “hide” us in His presence – away from those who would try to harm and accuse you. Our hearts should be like David – “How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you."
