“God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.    We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in sea storm and earthquake. Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains.   Jacob-wrestling God fights for us, God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.” Psalm 46 (A Song of the Sons of Korah) 1-3 (MSG)

Perhaps you have come up against someone or something in your life that seems dead set against you. In situations where we have given our all, done our best, we can come to understand that it may be  their own brokenness and pain that drives them; but it hurts, never-the-less.  
 
What about Someone Who fights for you instead of fighting against you?  Now there is a welcome change of pace!  And not just anyone to come to your aid either, but the God-of-the-Angel-Armies Who is always by your side.  
 
What is it dear one that wants to overwhelm you today?  Stand back from whatever situation that presents itself and step into His protective presence, where safety awaits in His arms of everlasting love.  Let Him take care of this beloved.  He is bigger than it all.  He has this situation with all it’s twists and turns, and most assuredly, and most importantly, He has you!
