“And me? I’m singing your prowess, shouting at cockcrow your largesse, For you’ve been a safe place for me, a good place to hide. Strong God, I’m watching you do it, I can always count on you— God, my dependable love” (‭Psalm‬ ‭59‬:‭16-17‬ MSG).

God is my safe place. I love that.

In those times when I feel the panic rising inside me, God is a safe place to hide.

When I feel overwhelmed by life, God is where I can find rest and perspective.

When I can’t see my way out of the state I’m in, God is my dependable love who will get me through.

I could go on and on about how God doesn’t just meet my need, but He Himself is my provision. My inheritance. My very life.

I read about how people say that their spouses or their children are their world. For me, Jesus is my world because only Jesus can hold my world together when it feels like it’s completely falling apart.

That’s not me being super-spiritual. That’s me being super-honest and admitting that my world needs a lot of holding together and that I’ve found only Jesus can do that.

I love the song that says that there are two things I know: 1) God is strong and 2) He loves me. As simplistic as that may seem, there are times when those two truths are very comforting.

So I can fall asleep knowing that I am in Good Hands. Whatever happens, my life is in Good Hands. I am held by a Strong Love.
