My Home Away From Home...

Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed;  Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.  For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings.  Selah --Psalm 61:1-4



Dear Girls,

David is not really that far from home when he is crying out here.  He had fled from Jerusalem at the time of his son Absolom's betrayal and rebellion and was probably just on the other side of the Jordan River.   What anguish of heart David must have been experiencing at his son's betrayal!

Like David, when our own  hearts are overwhelmed,  it can feel like help is a million miles away.  But God...God is our shelter, He is our resting place, He is our strong tower and as believers He abides in us...In Him we live and move and have our being. We can trust in the shelter of His wings. God is near girls, as close as our crying. The moment we cry out broken and overwhelmed, He is there.  He is our home away from home.  He is our defense and the rock of our strength. He is our shelter in the storm.  David's God is our God.  Pour out your heart before Him, girls.  He is a refuge for us!

Love
Mom
