Safety in God.

Psalm 27:4
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

The writer wants to live in God's house and temple. They absolutely long for the Lord! He wants security from God and it's not surprising because of the discussion about the enemies devouring flesh. Also, a war breaks out against him.

I don't think anyone has to be told that the world isn't very safe. We're not safe from anything, such as death, injury, or illness. We can also lose our dreams, hopes, and goals in an instant.

As a Christian, you are safe in the Lord though. The Lord saves people from their enemies. The Lord saves us from our fears.

Remember, the Lord is coming! That safety and security will quickly follow too. I hope that you can understand today that as God's children we have to hang on to him so that we can be safe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. He will absolutely bless you. Accept it! Thank God for being our safety net.
