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?
