There Is Safety In Him

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed. - Psalm 57:1
 
 We were awakened in the night by the sirens going off to warn people of a tornado. We got everyone up and went down to the basement. The storm was raging, the wind was horrendous, but we were in a safe place. This verse speaks of just such a time.

This psalm was written by David when king Saul had been after him and he was hiding in a cave. David had been anointed king, he knew his destiny, but he also knew that he would not become king until God was finished with Saul. He could not fight Saul he could only trust the providence of God.

There are times when we face similar circumstances. We know who we are in Christ; we know the promises of God concerning us; we know that he has ordered our life, yet there is a storm raging that we cannot handle alone. In those times we take refuge in the shadow of his wings.

We have a basement, a place of safety, in him, regardless of how the storm is raging. We can cry as David, “In you my soul takes refuge.” As long as the storm endures we are safe in him.

When we know our destiny we are not anxious about our present circumstances. The storm may be raging around us, but we are safe in his promises knowing that he has plans for us that are not yet finished.

Prayer: Sometimes the raging storm gets the best of me and I am afraid that I will be overcome by the circumstances around me. I need the grace of faith for troubling times. In Jesus name, amen.
There Is Safety In Him
  
Message:   When we know our destiny we are not anxious about our present circumstances. The storm may be raging around us, but we are safe in his promises knowing that he has plans for us that are not yet finished.
  
Affirmation:  The present circumstances do not cause anxiety because I know my destiny. My life is hid in Christ and my hope for tomorrow and eternity is secure.
  
Reflection:   This devotion speaks of having a safe place in Christ. In the example of the storm if a person does not go to the safe place will he be safe? How does that a parallel to our faith walk?

​​Don’t Stand There – Do Something 

After he said this he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee, they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky?”- Acts 1:9-11
 
 We don’t know how long they stood there gazing into the sky, and we don’t know how long they would have stayed there waiting for him to return had the two angels not appeared to break the spell. There is a time to gaze – and there is a time to move on and be about the masters business.

I am reminded of the time Peter, James and John were with Jesus on the mountain and suddenly there appeared Moses and Elijah standing beside him. The disciples were awed at the scene. In fact, they wanted to build a tabernacle and just stay there.

That’s the way we are. When something marvelous happens we want to enshrine it and keep coming back to it to memorialize what happened there, but Jesus had given them orders to go to Jerusalem and wait for the promise of power to fulfill his purposes for the kingdom of God.
​
The best that God has for us is only opened to us as we walk in obedience to his instructions. We must not be so awe struck from gazing at his glory that we fail to move on to serve him.
 
Prayer: Lord, I do stand in awe of you; but I know that the work of the kingdom cannot be accomplished while I stand gawking. Grant me the grace of balance between being in awe and being at work in your kingdom. In Jesus name, amen.

The One You Serve Is Your Master


Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey – whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? - Romans 6:16
 
It is the human condition that we are servants to something. We serve our appetites, our ambition, our fears, or our faith; but we will serve someone or something.


When we are living out of our fleshly desires we will serve sin. Serving sin leads to the inevitable – death. I find it interesting that sin, with all of its promises, can only satisfy for a season, then it craves more. Sin only feeds the appetites of the flesh which is going to die anyway, without making any preparation for what comes after this short life.


When we are serving Christ, in obedience to his revealed will, we are releasing life into ourselves. Not just life for a season, but life for eternity. The grace of God that is released to us through faith in Christ is eternal life.


Jesus said, “Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life” (John 5:24).


When we surrender to God, through faith in Christ, we become a slave to righteousness and that is a gift of God's grace. When we choose Christ he is our master.
 
Prayer: I have received Christ and by grace through faith I have crossed over from death to life. Grant me the grace, as I live in Christ, to live out your righteousness. In Jesus name, amen.
