Our Refuge and Strength

"Utterly Safe"

I AM IMMANUEL—GOD WITH YOU—AN EVER-PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE.

No matter what may happen, I am sufficient to provide whatever you need.

Instead of imagining how you might respond to terrible things that could happen, draw your mind back to the present and take refuge in My Presence.

I am much like a mother hen, eager to cover you with My protective pinions.

As you snuggle under My wings, you will not only find refuge; you will also discover a growing ability to trust Me.

It is in closeness to Me that you realize how trustworthy I am.

Remember that I am both your Rock and your Redeemer.

Though I am impregnable in My vast strength, I became a vulnerable Man so I could redeem you from your sins.

The more you take refuge in Me, the more aware you become of My overflowing Love.

In Me you are utterly safe, for I am your Rock of everlasting Love!

From " Jesus Lives " by Sarah Young

Stay Strong!
