Life
is so full of troubles, trials and disappointments and many days our hearts can
be broken because of all that is going on in our world. Neglected children, the
forgotten elderly, the sick and dying and the lonely with no one to share the
day. It is a beautiful thing to know that God has a place that provides
protection and shelter, a place one can turn to for help, relief and escape.
The Lord tells us He is with us at all times. But we must leave our little
world of survival and focus our hearts and minds towards Him who is our refuge.
When
we give all our TRUST to Him alone, then it happens. He comes and sits with us
and talks with us wrapping His big arms of love around us. It is then we
realize we are not alone or overtaken by any burden that He cannot handle.
When
we allow the Holy Spirit to renew our mind we are actually surrendering to what
is going on and receiving our life vest for survival during our storm.
Spiritually, we are taken into that safe place of His protection, His pavilion
and none of the things of this world can defeat us. Not that we are not there
already, but when our hearts don't stay FIXED on Him, we do not REST in His
PRESENCE.
We
must stay awake and aware that the world will pull us in, leaving us vulnerable
to Satan and his lies of defeat. BUT Jesus says come unto me ALL of you that
are troubled or overtaken and I will give you REST. He is our safe place in a
world of calamity. He is our shelter in the time of the storm. He is the one
who lifts us up above the shadows and puts our feet on solid ground.
To really know Him is to TRUST Him...To Trust Him means that your soul will be at REST... When all around us is crumbling down...Our heart is fixed on the Lord and we are safe and secure in Him...Jesus is My Safe Place!
