The best ‘safe place’ of all

Who would you look to for protection and security? In this psalm king David encourages us to look to God who is a fortress for his people. Here we learn what he does when threatened. He turns to God. He had done no wrong and so looks to him for justice.

No matter who is opposing us God knows the complete picture. He sees what we do not. In Jesus he offers us forgiveness and security. The world, however, continues to oppose God because they do not understand the cross.

God delivers David because of his special love. So it is with us. In Jesus Christ we are delivered from our sin. God has showed that he loves us deeply at the cross. He is our ‘safe place’ because, as his ransomed people, nothing or no-one can separate us from his love.
