SAFE!
Psalm 119:116-117 – Devotional
Psalm 119:116-117
“Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Hold me up, and I shall be safe, and I shall observe Your statutes continually.“
When I hear the word “safe” I often imagine a baseball game where the runner slides into home plate while the umpire stands ready to render the verdict as to whether the runner was tagged “out” or was called “safe.”
There are other thoughts that crowd into my mind about being safe. If you have ever been in a small boat on a rough body of water and finally enter a sheltered cove, you would know that you were now safe from the waves.
There are many more circumstances of life when we escape a dangerous episode to a safe place. I guess we could say that this life that we live is a series of dangerous events that threaten us. We need a safe haven, don’t we?
The Psalmist assures us that our safe haven is the Word of God. When we live our life in accordance with His word, we can know that special peace and safety that surpasses human understanding. Praise the Lord for that PEACE!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
