+Trouble reminds us we need a safe place to stay. Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
+Theologians tell us the phrase “the name of the Lord” means the entirety of who God is. All His attributes provide security as we hide ourselves in Him.
+Because God is kind, He welcomes us. Because He’s good, He listens to us. Because He’s love, He empathises with us.
+But God isn’t just another way to cope with problems. He’s more than a quick fix or a distraction. Taking refuge in Him means choosing His help over everything else.
+We can run to Him in prayer, meditate on Scripture or surrender to the Holy Spirit in times of stress and anxiety. Over the years, these habits lead to a lifetime of reliance on the one who is our true shelter.
๐ Thank You God, for being my safe place. Please help me to turn to You in every struggle. Whatever I may face today—please help me entrust my life to You, as Jesus did. Amen. ๐☝️๐ช๐ป✨
