Reflection:  Safe

As a parent, one of my biggest concerns is that my kids will be safe. I want them to know they are safe. That our home would always be a place where they can know that they are loved and protected both day and night. But I know that I cannot control their world. I cannot always shield them from harm. That is because I am finite. But God is eternal. He is your shield. He is your protector. Therefore, we can know that he will keep his children safe forever. That through the death and resurrection of Jesus the people of God are kept in his arms for all eternity. This hope gives us the strength for each step along our journey.

Question:  What does it mean for you to be safe?  How does the Gospel of Jesus give you safety?

Prayer:  Lord, may you watch over my life. May you watch over the lives of those I love. May I know ever more deeply, that through my Saviour, you will keep me forever.
