In the Shadow of His Wings.

Psalm 57:1
1 Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me,
for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
until the disaster has passed.

It's human instinct to take cover when there are dark clouds approaching, when it's raining, or when there's lightning in the area. There are some dare devils who brave the storm, but it's not easy to do. If we have common sense, we know that we shouldn't mess with Mother Nature.

The same fundamental decisions are at stake when there are the much anticipated storms within our soul. We are tricked into thinking that we have to go face-to-face with our battles alone or claim that we're not really in a storm. However, the best choice of all is to take shelter from the impending danger. We can satisfy and comfort ourselves by finding rest in God.

If you step out into the storms of life, you're not only physically in danger, but you're emotionally in danger. Your soul is at risk. As God's people, we need to surrender to him and know that he has no limits and he has all the capabilities you could imagine. We don't need to fight the fight. All you have to do is hunker down, love God, and pray from a fearful perspective.

Just remember that you are safe in the arms of Christ. Once you have hope that the Lord can give you strength, the stir in your soul will settle.

Here's the chorus of the song "Safe" by Phil Wickham. I posted the video for you on January 5!

You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms
