God is a safe place to
hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of
doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake before the rush and roar of oceans,
the tremors that shift mountains. Jacob-wrestling God fights for us;
God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
—Psalm 46:1-3 MSG
My refuge. My place of
safety. My anchor. My help in time of need. He is all this and so much more.
What do I ever face that He can’t and won’t handle? Because of Him I
stand without fear before any battle. I stand courageous before the unknown of
tomorrow and the unrest of today. No storm of life is able to shake my
assurance in Him. My world may surge with circumstances beyond my control, but
they are not beyond His. No shock in my life is too great to defeat my faith in
His unchanging truth. The same God who Jacob wrestled also fights for me. I may
feel the wound of my own failure, but I shall become stronger because of
it. I am healed only because He was wounded for me. The God of the angelic host
fights battles beyond my comprehension—those battle of which I know nothing. I
have no need to know. I don’t face or fight whatever lies ahead. He fights for
me.
