Safe in His Hands

We live in a world that is evil. Every day we hear of violence and murder. Every day we are reminded that there are those out there that want to do harm to children, the elderly, or just anyone who gets in their way. We are reminded that our homes and cars are possible targets of break-ins. How can we have peace in a world like this? How can we have peace while sending our kids to schools that are becoming battle fields? How can we sleep at night not knowing if someone is out there waiting for the lights to go out? We can have peace because of the One we serve. David says in Psalms 4:8, "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety." It is the Lord who protects us and our children. It is the Lord who looks over our things. We can not allow this world to cause us to fear. The Lord has not given us fear. Fear is of the devil and has no place in the heart of a believer. If you are struggling with fear today, turn it over to God. Jesus says that we can come to Him with our burdens and problems. When we do, we find rest. God bless.
