Her comment challenged me to consider my own personal “safe place.” Immediately I thought of Proverbs 18:10, “The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” In Old Testament times, the walls and watchtower of a city provided warning of danger from without and shielding for its citizens within. The writer’s point is that God’s name, which stands for His character, person, and everything that He is, provides true protection for His people.
Certain physical places promise longed-for
safety in moments that seem dangerous. A sturdy roof overhead in the
midst of a storm. A hospital offering medical care. The embrace of a
loved one.
What is your “safe place”? Wherever we
seek safety, it is God’s presence with us in that place that provides
the strength and protection we really need. —Elisa MorgDear God, thank You that no matter what worries and concerns we have today, when we think about You, we find safety in Your presence.
One of the greatest biblical descriptions of a truly “safe place” is found in the familiar words of Psalm 23.
