I remember watching documentaries about the battle of Britain in World War 2, when the city of Britain was being bombed. I recall seeing the pictures of people in the underground bomb shelters huddled together, safe from the destruction that was occurring above them in the city, and even seeing people sleeping while they waited for the attack to end. The shelter provided them safety and as a result allowed them to rest.
Psalm 91:1,2 say, “Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord; He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God and I trust him.”
Similar to those going to the bomb shelters, we can go to God for safety. When we trust him, he will give us peace, and allow us rest even while difficult and distressing events may be occurring in our lives.
Dear Lord, It is comforting for us to know that we can come to you for shelter from the fears and sadness in life. Help us trust you to protect us, and share the peace that in brings us with others who may not know. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

It is good to be reminded of the greatness and glory of God. Too often, we release our lives to the mayhem, fear, and uncertainty that the life can bring. It’s easy to get “caught-up” in every day chores and responsibilities and forget we have help. “A very present help in the time of trouble.”
Everyday help. We have a place of refuge that is waiting for us (me). We have the promise the Almighty God of creation that we can hide under the shadows of His expansive wings; basking in HIs presence and safety….. No place I’d rather be.
Thank you God of my fathers and fathers fathers. You know our beginnings from our endings. You have numbered the very hairs on our head. We take refuge in You, or Lord of Hosts for there is none like you.
Peace and blessings
