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.
God fights battles
beyond my comprehension, and I know nothing about these battles. I have no need
to know. I don’t face or fight whatever lies ahead. He fights for me.
Devotion from Form Me, Fire Me, Fill
Me (introduction Chapter 6)
