safe in God


i am grateful that i did not have to go to work on Thursday and Friday. i felt tired. i know that my body needs rest so i gave it rest. i rested on Thursday for 2 hours. i rested Friday for 3 hours and i rested Saturday for 3 hours. i rested Sunday for about 5 hours. i felt the most rest when i sought God's presence. i feel assured when i know that God is cradling me. i was never breastfed, yet i am comforted by I AM. God gives me the assurity that is indescribable. the psalmist of Psalm 91:1-2 knew what i felt this morning during worship and each time i enter into the secret place
1. You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, 2 will say to the Lord, My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
i can not apologize for the security i feel. i know that God always has time for me. i know that people are busy. i know that i trust God the most because when i want to wrestle with stuff that i am experiencing, God is there to wrestle with. God is truly a Holy and understanding Counselor.
Abba, we want to live in Your shelter. Abba, we want to dwell in the safety of Your shadows. Abba, You are our refuge. Abba, You are our fortress. Abba, we trust You. in Jesus' name, amen
